Brussels (Belgium), November 24: A Brexit summit is scheduled to be held on November 25 in Brussels in which prominent leaders from the European Union's (EU) 27-member countries and the United Kingdom (UK) will sit down for the final round of talks. European Council President Donald Tusk announced on Twitter that he has shared a draft Political Declaration on the future relationship between the EU and the UK with the EU member countries, while stating that the declaration has been agreed at the negotiators' level and "agreed in principle at political level". "On November 25th leaders of the EU-27 will vote on the deal reached during the course of negotiations," the official website of the UK Parliament stated. UK Prime Minister (PM) Theresa May spoke at the British Parliament outlining the text of the political declaration and trade dynamics. She said, "The negotiations are at a critical moment and it must be focused on working with our European partners to bring this process to a final conclusion. She has been fiercely defending the Brexit draft deal ever since it has been agreed by both sides on November 13. The UK is slated to leave the EU on March 29, 2019, and move into a 21-month transition period, according to the draft deal.
