Boris Johnson told European Union leaders he is disappointed by the slow progress of Brexit trade talks, saying he will decide after a key summit this week whether it is worth continuing to work for a deal.
The prime minister held a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel on Wednesday evening to discuss the state of play, according to a statement from 10 Downing Street. Johnson had previously indicated he would walk away from the negotiations by Oct. 15 if there was no clear agreement in sight by then.
