The UK government has sent alternative ideas on the French backstop to the EU , but it said formal solutions would not be tabled until the government is ready. Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said progress was being made with talks, but that he did not want to “exaggerate” their progress. "We think we can do that," said the PM. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said talks had been positive and a deal could be agreed within the next few weeks . The Irish government, however, has said a gap remained between what the UK wanted and what UK and the Brexit needed. Talks are also reportedly underway about agreeing another Brexit delay.
