A source close to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the BBC that a Brexit deal is “essentially impossible” after a call between Johnson and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Johnson spoke to the German leader about the proposals he put forward to the EU, but the source said she made clear a deal based on them was “overwhelmingly unlikely.”
The Guardian says Johnson “appears to be giving up on hopes of a new Brexit deal” after the call, triggering an angry response from Brussels that he is trying to play a “stupid blame game” over the near-collapse of talks.
