Boris Johnson and Leo Varadkar declared they could "see a pathway" yesterday.
EU Council President Donald Tusk says he's received "promising signals" from the Taoiseach that a Brexit deal is still possible.
Yesterday, Boris Johnson and Leo Varadkar declared they could "see a pathway" to a possible agreement.
This morning, the UK's Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay met the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels.
There are 20 days until Brexit, but just eight before Boris Johnson will be forced to ask for a delay if he hasn't secured a deal.
The EU Council president revealed that after Prime Minister Boris Johnson met his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar yesterday, "both saw for the first time a pathway to a deal".
He cautioned there was "no guarantee of success and the time is practically up", adding British negotiators have "still not come forward with a workable, realistic proposal" - but insisted "even the slightest chance must be used".
