Britain and the European Union have agreed to restart their talks on post-Brexit trade, one day after the talks were paused due to “significant divergences.”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have instructed their chief negotiators to reconvene in Brussels on Sunday, the two leaders said after a telephone conversation on Saturday afternoon.
