- Story Text:British Brexit negotiator David Frost arrived at the EU's executive headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday (October 2) where he was expected to hand over Britain's latest proposal on Brexit to EU officials.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants changes over arrangements with the bloc for the border between the British province of Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland.
The European Union has repeatedly asked Britain to come up with "legal and operational" proposals for changes to the Withdrawal Agreement that his predecessor Theresa May negotiated with the bloc last year.
On Wednesday Johnson was to announce a final offer to the EU and say that, if Brussels does not engage with it, Britain will stop talking and leave on October 31 regardless.
