British Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday she will seek another 'short' extension of Brexit in order to pass the deal she agreed with the European Union.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May said on Tuesday she would ask the European Union for a further delay to Brexit beyond April 12 to give her time to sit down with the opposition Labour Party in a bid to break the impasse over Britain's departure.
"Leaving with a deal is the best solution," May said from her Downing Street office in nationally-televised remarks. "We will need a further extension of Article 50, one that is as short as possible and which ends when we pass a deal. And we need to be clear what such an extension is for, to ensure we leave in a timely and orderly way.
