U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are set to hold a crisis call on Saturday to broker a post-Brexit trade deal after a week in which negotiations between the two sides lurched backward.
The two sides’ negotiators said in tweets on Friday they have paused talks because the “conditions for an agreement are not met” and will now brief their respective political leaders.
