BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Council President Donald Tusk will meet EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier at 0650 GMT on Thursday, a statement said.

Barnier is likely to say that “decisive progress” has been made in Brexit talks with Britain, allowing Tusk to call an extraordinary summit of EU leaders to rubber-stamp the deal.
