MNI BRIEF: No Brexit Milestone At EU Summit, Official Says

European Union leaders are not set to take final decisions on any post-Brexit trade deal at their summit at the end of this week, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen likely only to provide a stocktake of negotiations after her Wednesday dinner with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, an EU official said.

Discussions are also ongoing on the other thorny subject of a standoff with Hungary and Poland over the bloc's multi-annual budget, the official added. Earlier, another official told MNI that a deal to unblock the budget standoff may be emerging.
