Your support makes all the difference.Last-ditch efforts to break the deadlock in Brexit trade talks have failed to produce a breakthrough, as Ursula von der Leyen said that “significant differences” remain on crucial issues.
The European Commission president said that no free trade agreement was “feasible” unless they could bridge long-standing gaps between their positions on fisheries, governance and standards.
