Britain’s May to meet EU leaders Thursday
BRUSSELS, Feb 5, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – EU president Jean-Claude Juncker will
meet Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday, an EU spokesman said,
as Brussels and London wrangle over how to save the Brexit divorce deal.
“While the commission’s position is clear, we are waiting to see what the
prime minister has to say,” European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas
told reporters on Tuesday.
The spokesman said May would come to the commission’s Berlaymont
headquarters a day after Ireland’s Prime Minister Leo Varadkar’s talks on
Wednesday with EU leaders.
