British PM TheresaMay tries to plot a course out of the Brexit maelstrom

LONDON - British Prime Minister Theresa May will chair a five-hour cabinet meeting on Tuesday in an attempt to plot a course out of the Brexit maelstrom as she comes under pressure to either leave the European Union without a deal or call an election.

The deadlock has already delayed Brexit for two weeks beyond the planned exit date of March 29 and Mrs May is due to chair hours of cabinet meetings in Downing Street in a bid to find a way out of the maze. If Mrs May cannot get her deal ratified by parliament then she has a choice between leaving without a deal, calling an election or asking the EU for a long delay to negotiate a Brexit deal with a much closer relationship with the bloc.

The Sun newspaper said Brexit-supporting ministers will demand Mrs May give a final ultimatum to fix the Irish backstop, the most controversial part of her deal, or see the United Kingdom leave without a deal on April 12.
