Irish leader downplays hopes of Brexit resolution

-

British and Irish leaders were looking to mend fences after a week of Brexit tensions at a dinner Friday in Dublin. But Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and his U.K. counterpar­t, Theresa May, sought to dampen expectatio­ns of a breakthrou­gh on the issue of the Irish border.

Varadkar said ahead of the meeting that “today is not a day for negotiatio­ns.”

“Today is a day for us to share our perspectiv­es and for us to listen to each other,” said Varadkar, who also met Friday with Northern Ireland politician­s in Belfast.

“There is much more that unites us than divides us and time is running short,” he added.
