Boris Johnson will travel to Brussels for a face-to-face summit with the European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, in an 11th-hour attempt to break the impasse in the Brexit negotiations, raising hopes of agreement on a trade and security deal.
A long-awaited crunch meeting will be held in the “coming days”, the two leaders said in a joint statement following a 90-minute call, with sources on both sides pointing to Wednesday as the most likely date.
