Germany scraps Brexit talks after ‘wasted summer’

BERLIN, 28 August. - (ANA) - Germany has abandoned plans to discuss Brexit at a diplomatic meeting next week, citing the lack of “any tangible progress” in negotiations.

As Brussels laments a “completely wasted” summer, EU officials believe the United Kingdom (UK) government is prepared to risk a no-deal exit when the transition period comes to an end on 31 December.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel had previously been billed as a potential dealmaker but the lack of progress in negotiations has rang alarm bells in Brussels and London.  - (ANA) -
