EU Sees Brexit Deal as Impossible Unless the U.K. Moves

(Bloomberg) -- Brexit negotiations in Brussels are at an impasse, two officials said, adding that a deal appears impossible at the moment, unless the U.K. government moves.

The remaining issues can’t be resolved at a technical level, and a new mandate from London is needed, one of the diplomats said.

The EU understands that the British government is trying to get Northern Ireland’s unionist DUP party on board, the person said.
