May takes Brexit battle to Brussels ahead of summit

By Earle Gayle in London | China Daily | Updated: 2018-11-22 07:14

British Prime Minister Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker met in Brussels on Wednesday evening for crucial Brexit talks aimed at detailing the future relationship between the United Kingdom and European Union.

The sit-down was a prequel to a special EU summit on Sunday at which European leaders are expected to agree the final text of the 585-page Brexit withdrawal deal that May presented to her cabinet and the British Parliament last week.

Hardline Brexiteers who wanted a cleaner break from Europe disliked the 39-billion-pound ($50 billion) provisional deal and some Members of Parliament from May's ruling Conservative Party began a process to unseat her as leader but that attempt looks to have run out of steam.
