One of the most intense days in the long-running Brexit trade negotiations produced few signs of progress Monday, with the United Kingdom and the European Union seemingly still stuck on the same issues that have dogged the standoff for months.
Some Londoners showed mixed feelings towards the apparent deadlock.
“Four years later I don't think they have made any progress at all,” one resident said.
Another stated: "I wouldn't want a no deal situation and I don't like the fact that the government has reneged on what they promised.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen are due to speak by phone Monday for the second time in 48 hours to decide whether to pull the plug on talks - a decision that could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides and disrupt cross-Channel trade for years to come.
