The U.K and European Union are set to extend their negotiations over the post-Brexit future of Northern Ireland into 2022, as both sides seek a compromise that would avert a trade war.
Britain’s Brexit minister, David Frost, and European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic are due to speak twice virtually this week and are expected to announce their talks will continue into the new year, according to two people familiar with the state of play, speaking on condition of anonymity.
