Hello Mrdaisuke

There are several possible meanings. Can you provide more context, or the whole sentence?

Hello MrP

Thank you for replying.

Please have a look at this website.

How could you explain the meaning of the headline " New UK concession' brings deal closer "?

According to the article, European leaders could not reach an agreement. Finally the UK agreed to some changes which at first, they had not wanted. Therefore, the agreement between the European leaders can happen sooner (a deal is closer).

Hello Jintii

Thank you for replying.

I regarded " Deal Closer " as the things that help you decide something you can't pick up because there are too many options.

Now it is clear.
Thank you again.
