LONDON (Reuters) – Britain hopes the latest round of trade talks with the European Union starting on Tuesday will keep the process on track before a high-level meeting later this month, a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
“We hope this latest round is constructive and we hope that it will keep the process on track ahead of the high-level meeting later this month,” the spokesman told reporters on Monday.
The talks on a free trade deal and future relationship have stalled in recent weeks, with both sides urging the other to find the political will to change their positions.
