U.K. and European Union officials failed to agree on a start date for Brexit negotiations amid uncertainty in London over Prime Minister Theresa May’s plans for a post-election government.
A meeting in Brussels on Monday between EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier and Oliver Robbins, the head of the U.K.’s Department for Exiting the European Union, broke up without any firm commitment on when to begin the process, according to a person familiar with the talks. EU officials say they are still unclear about what the U.K. wants out of Brexit and are frustrated about delays in getting around the negotiating table.
