British Prime Minister Theresa May goes before European Union leaders Wednesday as the two sides faced stalled talks in the negotiations over Britain's exit from the bloc.

Months of talks have produced agreements on many parts of how to unravel the relationship, but some key hurdles remain, including how to handle the border between Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland.

After May addresses the group, the other 27 leaders will have dinner on their own to discuss the Brexit negotiations.

EU Council President Donald Tusk said ahead of Wednesday's meetings he planned to ask May "whether she has concrete proposals on how to break the impasse."

Tusk said that will determine if it is possible to resolve the differences and proceed toward the orderly breakup planned for March of next year.

He also warned that EU leaders need to discuss how to prepare for a so-called "no-deal Brexit," under which Britain would exit the EU without any formal measures in place resolving issues such as trade and freedom of movement.
