British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with the European Union's top executive Jean-Claude Juncker and Xavier Bettel, the Luxembourg premier to discuss Brexit on Monday.
The meeting is Johnson's first face-to-face encounter with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker since replacing Theresa May as the U.K.'s premier.
Johnson had hustled into a meeting with Xavier Bettel, the Luxembourg premier, following a nearby lunch with the European Commission's outgoing president,. On the menu at both occasions: Brexit, and the current UK government's efforts to change elements of an existing withdrawal deal that its predecessor had agreed to almost a year ago.
Boris Johnson, U.K. prime minister, departs following a Brexit meeting with Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel in Luxembourg, on Monday, Sept. 16, 2019.But he acknowledged the only obvious area of common ground to emerge from his first face-to-face meetings with Juncker and Europe's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, was that talks should continue, more extensively and more frequently.
And after their lunchtime sit-down at a local restaurant, Juncker and Johnson emerged to boos from protesters and were forced to negotiate a scrum of reporters and photographers.
