Boris Johnson is reportedly very close to agreeing a Brexit deal with the EU
LONDON — The European Union is reportedly close to agreeing a new Brexit deal with the United Kingdom.
EU sources on Tuesday afternoon told Bloomberg that negotiators were “closing in” on a deal, with an agreement possible before the end of the day.
The agreement is reported to hinge on Johnson agreeing that there should be a new customs border down the Irish sea, which his government was previously opposed to.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar this afternoon confirmed that negotiators were making progress.
However, he cast doubt over whether both sides could finalise a deal in time for the European Council summit on Thursday.
