Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday she would seek to further delay Britain's exit from the European Union and to make an accord with the political opposition in a bid to break the Brexit impasse.
Theresa May speaks to the media at 10 Downing Street in London after chairing a meeting of the Cabinet.
"I have always been clear that we could make a success of no-deal in the long term, but leaving with a deal is the best solution," she said in a televised statement from 10 Downing St. Hours before May's statement, EU negotiator Michel Barnier offered EU legislators his downbeat assessment as British Cabinet ministers tried to thrash out a new proposal that the U.K. Parliament could consider following the defeat of the government's plan and a range of lawmaker-written alternatives.
Exiting without a deal in place would jeopardize trade and travel, with new checks on borders and new regulations on dealings between the EU and Britain.The European boss of automaker Ford said that if the U.K. could not work out a deal on leaving the EU that guaranteed"frictionless trade," the company would have to"consider seriously the long-term future of our investments in the country.
"We cannot spend the coming months on solving terms for the divorce," Macron said before he and Varadkar met in Paris. Barnier reiterated that the EU was unwilling to renegotiate the 585-page withdrawal agreement but said he would agree to open up the political declaration attached to the legal text.
