BRUSSELS/DUBLIN—British negotiators were locked in last-minute talks with their European Union and Irish counterparts on Monday Dec. 4, trying to put together a Brexit deal that Prime Minister Theresa May might agree over lunch in Brussels.

London has broadly agreed to many of the EU’s divorce terms, including paying out something like 50 billion euros. But the issues of the rights of expatriate citizens and the UK-EU border on the island of Ireland remain fraught, diplomats said.
