EU ready for talks with Britain’s next leader
EU leaders say they are ready to work with the new British leadership on moving ahead with Brexit.
EU Council President Charles Michel promised that EU leaders meeting Friday will send a “strong message” to the next British government and parliament about the next steps on the UK’s impending departure from the 28-nation bloc.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said “we are ready to negotiate” to get out of the Brexit stalemate of recent months.
They wouldn’t comment on an exit poll projecting that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s conservatives won a clear majority in Thursday’s election. That result would increase chances that Johnson pulls Britain out of the EU January 31.
