The UK's chief Brexit negotiator David Frost said today that Britain and the EU have failed to reach agreement on key issues for a future trade deal. However, the politician still hopes for a successful conclusion of the negotiations in September. Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, also noted that there is a high risk of not reaching any agreements with Britain. He also said that the current position of Britain in negotiations on a future partnership makes the possibility of a trade agreement unlikely. It is about the UK abandoning open and fair competition and a balanced fisheries agreement. The next stage of negotiations is scheduled for August 17.
