British PM says UK could leave EU with a deal as soon as possible
By Trend
The UK Prime Minister Theresa May told a news conference on Thursday that Britain could leave the European Union before the 30 June, adding that she has been reaching out to find a way to get Brexit agreement in the UK Parliament, Trend reported citing Sputnik.
EU members states and the United Kingdom agreed Thursday upon an extension of the Brexit deadline until 31 October, giving London additional six months to figure out the best possible way out of the withdrawal deadlock, the European Council President, Donald Tusk, said on Thursday.
However, a further delay of Britain's departure from the EU after the newly agreed deadline looks very unlikely, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Reuters on Thursday.
"I would expect this is the last delay", Rutte said. "On October 31 the British will either have agreed to a deal, have decided to cancel Brexit or leave without a deal. But then we will have had six more months to prepare for that", Rutte told Reuters on Thursday.
