(Worthy News) – European leaders stood firm late Tuesday after the British parliament voted to send Prime Minister Theresa May back to Brussels to renegotiate the EU-backed withdrawal agreement.
“We continue to urge the UK government to clarify its intentions with respect to the next steps as soon as possible,” said a spokesman for European Council President Donald Tusk. “The backstop is part of the Withdrawal Agreement, and the Withdrawal Agreement is not open for renegotiation.”
Tusk’s spokesman was referring to the Irish border backstop, a measure included in the draft Brexit deal to prevent a hard border between the Republic of Ireland and the UK’s Northern Ireland. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
