BRUSSELS: The European Union said it will grant UK Prime Minister Theresa May a second delay to Brexit at an emergency summit on Wednesday, media reports said.
Leaders, however, said they will debate a longer extension with conditions to prevent any future British leader jeopardizing the bloc.
PM Theresa dashed to Berlin and Paris on the eve of the summit to ask Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron to allow her to postpone a divorce that was supposed to have been Britain’s ‘liberation’.
May requested the EU defer Friday’s exit until June 30. However, in Brussels a “flextension” until the end of the year or until March 2020 was being discussed. (Agencies)
