British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen asked their Brexit negotiators to resume talks but cautioned no deal was possible unless key issues were resolved.
"Significant differences remain on three critical issues: level playing field, governance and fisheries," Johnson and von der Leyen said in a joint statement. "Both sides underlined that no agreement is feasible if these issues are not resolved."
"Whilst recognising the seriousness of these differences, we agreed that a further effort should be undertaken by our negotiating teams to assess whether they can be resolved," they said.
