BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Ambassadors for 27 member states of the European Union were told on Sunday there was as yet no deal with Britain over the terms of the country’s withdrawal, two EU diplomatic sources said.

The ambassadors for EU member states excluding Britain had been summoned for a meeting on Sunday, prompting some to suggest there was a deal in the offing. Earlier, EU officials said such a deal had yet to be reached and further meetings would be needed.
