UK Mulls Next Steps After Brexit Defeat
After Prime Minister Theresa May’s divorce deal with the European Union was rejected by 149 votes, British lawmakers will decide today whether their country should withdraw from the bloc later this month without a deal. Amid growing frustration in Brussels, several top European officials warned that there is no more they can do to ensure an orderly Brexit.
What’s next? Although lawmakers are expected to opt for a delay instead, May’s government has unveiled measures — like suspending import tariffs and keeping a soft border between Ireland and Northern Ireland — in case Parliament chooses a no-deal Brexit.
