Wikileaks fugitive Julian Assange must eventually leave Ecuador's embassy in London, the country's president has said.

Lenin Moreno said he had spoken to the British government about the situation, amid speculation that the long-running stand-off is coming to a head.

A UK government spokesman said that while discussions were ongoing, the matter was not talked about during Mr Moreno's latest UK visit.

Australian-born Assange has been holed up in the country's embassy since 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations, which authorities have since dropped.

British police still want to arrest him for breaching bail conditions.

1. I've got an idea...

...why doesn't Mueller indict Assange for an accessory to the Russian hack and extradite him to America to face trial. He can share a holding cell with his buddy, Roger Stone.

4. I would rather let Australia have a crack at Assange first.

He is in trouble with his home country for breach of bail conditions and illegally publishing documents.

If he is extradited to the US, Dolt 45 will pardon him.

The Aussies would gladly hand him over to the US for trial after the traitor is gone.
