German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country would support an agreement on Britain’s exit from the European Union, adding that it hoped to resolve Spain’s objection to a text on disputed British Gibraltar by Sunday.
“We know how difficult the discussions in Britain are, but I can tell Germany that we will agree to this exit agreement,” Merkel told German legislators on Wednesday in a speech that touched on several issues during the budget debate.
“We still have an objection in Spain. I can not say how we will resolve this problem specifically, but I hope it will be resolved by Sunday,” she said.
