LUXEMBOURG - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will explore his chances of securing a Brexit deal over lunch with European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday, after weekend rhetoric from both suggested their positions remain far apart.
He said on Sunday that he was still aiming for a deal before the Oct. 31 divorce date and that the next few days would be key to whether he clinches it. Johnson will meet Juncker in Luxembourg on Monday to build his case for a revised deal that he hopes will be agreed at an EU leaders’ summit on Oct. 17-18.
In an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio on Sunday, Juncker said there was no possibility of reopening the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by May.
