BRUSSELS: Leaders of European Union gave Britain six more months to leave the bloc, media reports said.
The time is more than Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has sought.
The summit deal in Brussels on Thursday meant Britain will not crash out on Friday without a treaty to smooth its passage. However, the EU offers clarity on when, how or even if Brexit will happen.
Britain’s PM Theresa has been struggling to build support in parliament for withdrawal terms agreed with the EU last year.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been insisting that Britain would not be forced out. (Agencies)
