Juncker wants to avoid no-deal, but it doesn't mean it won't happen

Jean-Claude Juncker, seen as a key figure in Brexit negotiations, has been involved in talks for over two years. With his EU Commission presidency ending on October 31, the same day as the Brexit deadline, he aims to avoid a no-deal exit. Juncker recently met with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, expressing optimism about reaching a deal despite media reports. The UK has sent documents to the EU, and discussions continue on alternatives to the backstop, particularly concerning Northern Ireland. Juncker remains convinced Brexit will occur, but significant negotiation challenges remain.
