UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to Brussels this week with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a last-ditch effort to restore a post-Brexit trade deal. It comes when the 90-minute phone call between the two leaders has not made any progress. A joint statement said the terms of the deal were “not in place”. They added that there have been “significant differences” in terms of fishing, business competition rules and the governance of any agreement. “We have asked our main negotiators and their groups to prepare an overview of the remaining differences that will be discussed at a physical meeting in Brussels in the coming days,” the leaders said in their statement. .
