Brussels is insisting that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer agree to a cut in tuition fees for EU students as the price of his Brexit reset.

EU officials say they are frustrated that the UK is yet to engage on the topic in talks — which are meant to finish by the summer.

“It needs to be worked out before talks can be concluded,” one EU official told POLITICO.
