Irish PM Martin: Remains to be seen if talks today can rescue situation

“At the moment, we are on the precipice of a no-deal,” Ireland’s new Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin said on Wednesday, as reported by Reuters.

“It remains to be seen if talks today can rescue the situation,” Martin said regarding British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. “The situation is 50-50, it is on a knife-edge.”
