The European Union is prepared to briefly postpone Brexit, but on the condition that the House of Commons approves the deal May concluded with Brussels. This was stated by EU President Tusk on the eve of the EU summit in Brussels.

May's request to postpone Brexit until 30 June raises many questions and possibly political complications. EU leaders must formally agree to the postponement, only one veto is enough to take the postponement off the table.

The House of Commons has rejected the deal twice before, but they have spoken out against a no-deal Brexit. If May fails to get the deal through Parliament for a third time, a departure without agreements threatens, with all its consequences. Neither of the parties want this to happen.
