A person familiar with the negotiations said Britain would not be disclosing its financial obligations during the three-and-a-half-day negotiating round next week. The Brexit secretary said last week that British intentions were meant to be difficult to read. Both sides agree there will be no figure on the Brexit bill this year.

The Brexit bill is expected to generate the most tensions during the talks, which are likely to start on Monday.
