The UK and the EU have agreed to a new trade deal, according to Sky News.
The negotiations are the first since Boris Johnson agreed to the initial Brexit deal in January 2020, when the UK left the EU.
The talks extended right until the last moment, with a breakthrough occurring around 10.30pm on Sunday. UK fishing rights were one of the main issues that negotiators had to work through once again.
The UK government had set a deadline of 10am on Monday, with Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds informing Sky News that details were still being finalized just three hours before the deadline.
EU leaders are scheduled to hold a formal meeting at Lancaster House, with a press conference planned to announce the deal later.
