BRUSSELS—The European Union is preparing to grant another British request to extend the Brexit negotiations after concluding that Prime Minister Boris Johnson won’t be able to secure a deal before the end of this month, sources say.

Senior EU officials and diplomats told The Epoch Times that they expect Johnson to be forced into asking for a further delay to the country’s exit date at an Oct. 17 gathering in Brussels.
