Citing a person familiar with discussions, Bloomberg recently reported that the EU was considering “persuading the U.K. to extend Brexit by nine months” if Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal fails to pass through the British Parliament for the third time next week.
“The EU doesn’t want to be blamed for a no-deal Brexit so leaders would try to convince May to accept the plan. She and the 27 other leaders would have to be on board,” Bloomberg wrote.
