May calls on business leaders to support deal

PM makes case for draft agreement ahead of critical week for Brexit plan

Britain's prime minister, Theresa May, is trying to convince members of her political party and her cabinet that the divorce deal she and her negotiators worked out with the European Union is good for the United Kingdom.

On Monday, she made her case in front of 1,000 of Britain's top business executives at the annual meeting of the Confederation of British Industry, which is also known as the CBI, where she said Britain should be open to the world's best immigrants, and that Brexit means unskilled EU migrants will no longer "jump the queue".
