Boris Johnson the Brexit 'Hulk' to meet European Commission's Junker

Six weeks before the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning for Britain's exit from the European Union, he will finally meet the European Commission's Jean-Claude Junker on September 16. Both personalities will meet face-to-face for the first time since Johnson took the office in July. The British leader, who has compared himself to Marvel comic's superhero Hulk, will meet the EU commission over a 'working lunch' today in Luxembourg just before the EU summit which is scheduled on October 17. Johnson also believes that there shall be a lot of work before the EU summit on Brexit. Hopes from the meeting Downing Street is hoping for an agreement in Luxembourg that can assure Britain's safe exit from the European Union. However, Brussels believes that the UK PM has yet to come in terms with the “legally operable” proposal for the withdrawal. In this meeting, the Chief European Union negotiator, Michel Barnier will also join the leaders in their talks to negotiate a systematic divorce. Barnier still believes that there is “no reason to be optimistic” about this union. On September 12, the chief EU negotiator met with the leaders of the European Parliament for an update on Brexit. He said under the leadership of President of the Parliament, and the support of Brexit steering groups, the role of the European Parliament shall remain crucial.
