EU, UK continue post-Brexit trade deal talks
(VOVWORLD) - The EU and the UK embarked on a third round of post-Brexit trade talks on Monday with little hope for a breakthrough amid the far more urgent challenge of dealing with the coronavirus crisis.

The new negotiations began with a video conference between Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief negotiator, and his UK counterpart David Frost.
That will be followed by videoconferences involving hundreds of officials throughout the week.
The previous round of talks broke up on April 24 with little or no progress.
