No Deal Reached Yet for Post-Brexit UK-EU Trade's Future
UK and EU agreed to extend the negotiations over the new trade deal although many deadlines have already been missed by parties due to the overall bilateral disagreement on many key points.

Brexit negotiations will continue despite a self-imposed Sunday deadline to get a deal before the UK leaves the EU.

"It is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday. The negotiations will continue in Brussels, she added.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson meanwhile said the country would "certainly" not be "walking away from the talks" and that they should "continue to try" to find a deal.

Johnson repeated however that they "remain very far apart" on key issues and should prepare for trading on World Trade Organisation (WTO) terms without a deal.
