EU Will Grant Brexit Extension Only If May Wins Backing for Withdrawal Agreement - TheStreet
The Street.com • 1 hour ago
European Council President Donald Tusk said Wednesday that he is prepared to agree to a short extension of Britain's Brexit deadline, following a conversation with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, but only if British lawmakers agree to the deal they have twice rejected in Parliament. "In the light of the consultations that I have conducted over the past days, I believe that a short extension will be possible, but it will be conditional on a positive vote on the withdrawal agreement in the House of Commons," Tusk said during a statement to the media in Brussels. Tusk said extending Britain's Brexit deadline from March 29 to June 30 "has merits" and would seem to fit with the Prime Minister's desire to force lawmakers to support her deal, which was first defeated in January -- by the largest margin in U.K. political history -- and then again in late February.

'As prime minister I am not prepared to delay Brexit any further than June 30,' she said in the House of Commons, noting a longer delay would result in Parliament spending 'endless hours contemplating its navel on Brexit.'. But a long extension would infuriate the pro-Brexit wing of May's divided party and would require Britain to participate in May 23-26 elections for the European Parliament. (Newser) - Theresa May formally asked the European Union on Wednesday to postpone Britain's departure from the bloc-due in nine days-until June 30.
