The European Council President Donald Tusk has delivered his address in the wake of UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s letter to Brussels, calling on the EU to delay Brexit until 30 June.
Mr. Tusk said that a short extension to Article 50 would be possible but would be conditional on a positive vote on the Brexit deal in the UK’s House of Commons.
Even if the hope for final success may seem frail, even illusory, and although Brexit fatigue is increasingly visible and justified, we cannot give up seeking – until the very last moment – a positive solution. #euco
