LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May put the onus on the European Union to make concessions over the thorny issue of the Irish backstop in Brexit talks, or risk Britain leaving the EU without a deal, which she said would be against EU interests.
Lawmakers will vote again on the deal next week, and May will say on Friday that the EU that should give ground in discussions over the backstop before then to help the deal go through. "We are working with them but the decisions that the European Union makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote."May's top lawyer returned empty handed from negotiations in Brussels this week.
