Brexit delayed? Theresa May to request ‘short’ extension in letter to EU

After repeated failures to get her EU divorce deal ratified in the British parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to request a short delay to Brexit on Wednesday afternoon, just nine days before the March 29 deadline.

It has been nearly three years since the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, and two years since May herself set the March 29 deadline to formally exit the bloc. Now, she is expected to write a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk to formally request a delay, a move that will surely cause disquiet among Brexiteers.
