<p>But the European Commission president was unable to put the prospects at more than 50/50 when asked by Sky News in an interview broadcast on Thursday.</p>
<p>Mr Juncker met with Boris Johnson in Luxembourg for Brexit discussions on Monday, before the British Prime Minister headed for his ill-fated meeting with his Luxembourg counterpart Xavier Bettel.</p>
<p>The EU chief insisted his meeting with the PM was “rather positive”, adding: <em>“We can have a deal.”</em></p>
<p>But when pressed by the broadcaster if the chances were more than 50/50, he replied: <em>“I don’t know.”</em></p>
<p>He assured that he is “doing everything to have a deal” because he wanted to ward off a no deal with “catastrophic consequences”.</p>
<p><em>“It’s better for Britain and for the European Union to have an organised deal,”</em> he added.</p>
<p>Mr Juncker reassured that he has no “emotional relationship” with the Irish backstop, which aims to prevent a hard border returning to the island of Ireland but has been a major sticking point to getting a deal through Parliament.</p>
<p><em>“If the objectives are met – all of them – then we don’t need the backstop,”</em> he added.</p>
