British Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting European Union chief executive Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels seeking to clinch a deal to open talks on post-Brexit trade.

Theresa May and Brexit Secretary David Davis are meeting European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels for further Brexit talks.

The British Prime Minister has already been up into the early hours discussing the post-Brexit Irish land border with Democratic Unionist Party leader Arlene Foster .

A carefully choreographed attempt to showcase the progress of talks collapsed earlier this week when the Northern Irish party that props up May's government vetoed a draft deal already agreed with the government in Dublin.

Since then, May has been scrambling to clinch a deal on the new UK-EU land border in Ireland that is acceptable to the European Union, Dublin, her own lawmakers and Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which keeps her government in power.
