Brexit negotiators are edging toward a compromise on the thorniest issue in talks, even as officials on both sides warned that obstacles still stand in the way of a deal.
EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said Wednesday that a deal is within reach, and officials in Brussels and London said some progress was being made in intense negotiations.
