The U.K. government rejected a German newspaper report that a dinner between Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker last week exposed a growing gap between the two sides in the Brexit negotiations.
“We do not recognize this account,” a spokesman, who asked not to be named, said in an email to Bloomberg. “As the prime minister and Jean-Claude Juncker made clear, this was a constructive meeting ahead of the negotiations formally getting underway.”
