Talks on Brexit divorce terms are making ‘progress’ after EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker spoke by telephone with the prime ministers of Britain and Ireland, and will go on through the night, a spokesman said on Friday.
An early morning meeting in Brussels between Juncker and British Prime Minister Theresa May, whose efforts to reach a deal broke down in failure earlier this week, was also a possibility, Juncker’s spokesman said.
“We are making progress but not fully there yet. Talks are continuing through the night,” Juncker’s spokesman Margaritis Schinas said on Twitter,
Juncker spoke first with Irish Prime Minister leo Varadkar then British premier May, the spokesman said.
“Early morning meeting possible with press point thereafter,” Schinas said. “Tonight more than ever, stay tuned.”
