Coveney sees EU-UK trade talks going past mid-November deadline

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Simon Coveney: “I think it is likely to move into next week. At that point, the timelines start to get very tight - there are only 50 days left this year."

An EU-UK trade pact is unlikely to come together this week and negotiations might go into the next.

That's according to Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney, who said that the sides would likely miss their mid-November deadline for a new Brexit deal.
