BRUSSELS — European Union chief Donald Tusk said Monday he was “encouraged” by last-minute progress in divorce talks with Britain, saying that the sides were within reach of a breakthrough that would clear the way to start discussing future trade relations.
The comments came as British Prime Minister Theresa May made a diplomatic push in Brussels, where she was meeting with top European Union officials in an effort to break an impasse, especially in the thorny issue of the Irish border.
