LONDON - Britain is hoping the rest of the European Union falls in behind France and Germany and agrees to work on solving a deadlock over Brexit, with officials sensing a glimmer of hope after meetings this week, but conscious of the need for a wider consensus in Europe.
This week, some British newspapers cheered what they called a major breakthrough and sterling rose after both German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron offered Prime Minister Boris Johnson what he described as “positive noises” on their willingness to consider an exit deal agreement.
A separate source in Johnson’s office said that while the meetings had been a success in terms of building rapport between the prime minister and the EU’s two most powerful leaders, the rest of the bloc needed to show the same desire to work on a solution.
