European Leaders Offer Long Brexit Delay

The European Union has agreed to a Brexit extension until October 31 with a review of British cooperation to determine whether there should be an earlier exit on June 30, the date British Prime Minister Theresa May originally asked for.

Washington Post: “E.U. leaders are tired of emergency Brexit summits and skeptical of what she can accomplish in less than three months.”

The Guardian: “The June ‘break clause’ has been put in to appease France, as the president, Emmanuel Macron, wanted assurances that the UK would conduct European elections properly.”
