French President Macron doesn’t want Brexit to be delayed beyond December 2019 - Report
According to a Buzzfeed report, citing diplomatic sources, the French President Emmanuel Macron doesn’t want Brexit delayed beyond December 2019 at the latest. The French President is also said to ask the other 26 EU leaders to impose compliance checks on the UK every three months during any extension and include the possibility of cutting extension short if the UK isn't respecting its commitments.
This comes just before Macron's meeting with the UK PM Theresa May later today and ahead of this week’s emergency European Council summit of EU leaders on Wednesday.
