Angela Merkel vows to fight for orderly Brexit

Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she will fight for an “orderly Brexit” until “the very last hour”. Merkel said that current events were in a “state of flux”, adding that European Union leaders would try to react to whatever the UK proposed, the BBC reported on Tuesday. The UK is due to leave the EU in 10 days’ time, with or without a deal. Prime Minister Theresa May is writing to European Council President Donald Tusk to ask for an extension. She will meet EU leaders later this week. May’s proposed Brexit deal has already been rejected twice by MPs at Westminster. (IANS)
