Brexit: May and Juncker talks 'robust but constructive'

Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker have described their talks on changing the Brexit deal as "robust but constructive", in a joint statement.

The European Commission President stressed the withdrawal agreement could not be changed, as the UK PM wants.

But he said the EU was open to adding words to the non-binding future relations document that goes with it.

The two leaders agreed to meet for further talks before the end of February.

The EU and UK Brexit negotiating teams are, meanwhile, set to resume their talks to find out "whether a way through can be found that would gain the broadest possible support in the UK Parliament and respect the guidelines agreed by the European Council".

And Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay and EU negotiator Michel Barnier will hold talks in Strasbourg on Monday.
