Prime Minister Theresa May insisted Wednesday she wanted Britain to leave the European Union “as soon as possible”, even as she arrived at a Brussels summit to ask fellow leaders to delay Brexit.
“I’ve asked for an extension to June 30 but what is important is that any extension enables us to leave at the point at which we ratify the withdrawal agreement, so we could leave on May 22 and start to build our brighter future,” she said.
