LONDON (Reuters) - The deputy leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, which props up British Prime Minister Theresa May’s government, said on Tuesday that it appeared European Union and British negotiators were nearing a Brexit deal.

“It does look as if the negotiators in Brussels seem to be inching their way towards some kind of compromise,” Nigel Dodds told BBC TV.
