EU’s Juncker: Brexit decision unlikely this week

By Ayhan Simsek</p> <p>BERLIN (AA) – European Council President Jean-Claude Juncker has dampened expectations that an upcoming EU summit this week will come to a decision on a possible delay to Brexit. </p> <p>&quot;This might surprise you, but my assessment is that there won’t be any decision this week,&quot; Juncker told Germany’s Deutschlandfunk radio on Wednesday. </p> <p>He said it was likely an additional meeting would be held next week, as U.K. premier Theresa May could not ensure any agreement yet within her Cabinet or Parliament on a way forward.

EU leaders are gathering in Brussels on Thursday for a two-day summit focusing on Brexit, the upcoming EU summit with China and climate change.

British Prime Minister Theresa May was likely to ask EU leaders for a delay to Brexit beyond the 29 March deadline, after British lawmakers rejected her Brexit deal twice.

Her plan faced a fresh hurdle on Monday after House of Commons Speaker ruled out another vote on her Brexit deal unless a significantly changed proposal was submitted.
