British Prime Minister Theresa May made no comment as she left her Number 10 Downing Street residence on Tuesday after holding talks with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party over a deal to back her government.
May did not comment on the progress of the discussions with DUP leader Arlene Foster, who left by a different exit.
May failed to secure an outright majority after Thursday’s election and is aiming to strike a deal with the DUP to pass her legislative programme. It was unclear whether there was a deal.
Meanwhile the BBC reported that a deal between May and DUP, has been largely agreed, citing unidentified sources.
Foster also said on Tuesday that talks with May to support a new government were going well and she hoped to successfully conclude them soon.
May, who failed to secure an outright majority after last week’s election and is aiming to strike a deal with the DUP to pass her legislative programme, made no comment as she left her Downing Street office.
“Discussions are going well with the government and we hope soon to be able to bring this work to a successful conclusion,” Foster said on Twitter after more than an hour of talks.
