U.K.’s May hits narrowing road for help rescuing Brexit deal
BRUSSELS — Prime Minister Theresa May said she found “a shared determination” among some European leaders Tuesday to persuade the British Parliament to accept a proposed Brexit deal, but her continental counterparts insisted any room for revisions was small.
So many British lawmakers oppose the deal that May postponed a vote instead of seeing it rejected.
While EU officials ruled out renegotiating the divorce, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said “room enough” might exist for “clarifications and further interpretations” to be made at a summit Thursday.
Some pro-Brexit members of May’s’ Conservatives said Tuesday they had the 48 letters from party lawmakers needed to trigger a no-confidence vote in their leader.
