BREAKING: EU, Britain agree to delay Brexit until Oct. 31, EU chief Donald Tusk says.
European Union leaders and Britain have agreed to allow Britain to extend Brexit until Oct. 31.
The officials said that the European leaders agreed at an emergency Brexit summit early Thursday in Brussels that part of the offer is that the EU would assess the situation June. An official in French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said May hadn’t given “sufficient guarantees” at an emergency Brexit summit “to justify a long extension.”
The official says other EU leaders expressed concerns with a long extension, but acknowledged Macron is playing “bad cop” to pressure the British government into clarifying what it wants.Forget about the date the U.K. will leave possibly leave the European Union. The real question gripping the EU summit: What was on Angela Merkel’s tablet?
Jokes soon followed. Were they comparing prices of their suits, which looked identical Europe-blue? One EU official said Merkel must have claimed she got it at half the price.Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte says he wants to know how British leader Theresa May plans to get a Brexit agreement through Parliament and assurances the U.K. will remain a loyal European Union member until it leaves the bloc.
May has asked to push Brexit back until June 30, but many in the EU favor a delay of up to a year to give British politicians more time to break the country’s political impasse on Brexit. Upon arriving at the summit, Macron insisted on “clarity” from May about what Britain wants, and said “nothing should compromise the European project.”British Prime Minister Theresa May has signaled she is ready to accept a long delay to Brexit if other European Union leaders insist, as long as the U.K. has the option of leaving earlier if lawmakers ratify an EU divorce deal.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis says that Tusk’s plan would “calm down the situation” and also give Britain time enough to decide what it wants to do.EU countries have become increasingly exasperated with the political division and uncertainty in Britain.French government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye is warning that the risk of a no-deal Brexit still exists ahead of a European Union summit.
Anti-EU figurehead Nigel Farage says his newly formed Brexit Party will run in the elections. He says the contest will bring “a rebirth of active Euroscepticism,” driven by Britons’ anger at the failure to leave the EU.Brexiteers have condemned Prime Minister Theresa May for seeking to postpone the U.K.’s departure because she has failed to get Parliament’s approval for her EU withdrawal agreement.
Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn did not bring up Brexit, and many lawmakers shied away from the usual bickering as May prepares to ask the EU for an extension. Britain is currently scheduled to leave the EU on Friday, with or without a deal. Prime Minister Theresa May has asked for a delay until June 30, and visited both Germany and France Tuesday to make her case.German Chancellor Angela Merkel has set out three conditions for a likely delay to Britain’s departure from the European Union.
EU leaders are meeting in Brussels later Wednesday to mull Prime Minister Theresa May’s request for Brexit to be delayed until June 30. If no extension is granted, Britain risks crashing out without a deal on Friday.
