‘Still time to negotiate,’ Merkel says after Brexit vote
BERLIN, Jan 16, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said
Wednesday “we still have time to negotiate” after the British parliament
overwhelmingly rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal on leaving the
European Union.
“We still have time to negotiate but we’re now waiting on what the prime
minister proposes,” Merkel said, stressing that she very much regretted the
parliament’s no vote.
