The Prime Minister met with the President of the European Commission yesterday as trade deal negotiations continue. They agreed that a ‘firm decision’ should be made on the future of the talks by Sunday, which gives negotiators just days to iron out key sticking points.
The ECB will hold their monetary policy meeting today, where they are expected to announce an extension to their stimulus programme. The EU summit will also take place over today and tomorrow. Member states will discuss the EU budget after it was vetoed by Poland and Hungary.
