European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Friday that the EU negotiation team will go to London the following week to "intensify [Brexit] negotiations" with the United Kingdom.

She took to Twitter to reiterate that "the EU continues to work for a deal, but not at any price."

Earlier in the day, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed that the country should start preparing for a scenario in which a trade deal with the bloc hasn't been reached, but also noted that the talks could continue if Brussels showcases a "fundamental change of approach."
