No-deal Brexit remains possible, French govt spokeswoman says

A ‘no-deal’ Brexit remains a possibility, French government spokeswoman Sibeth Ndiaye said on Thursday. “It is not impossible that we could again have a no-deal Brexit,” she told French TV station Cnews. European Union leaders have given Britain six more months to leave the bloc – more than Prime Minister Theresa May says she needs. However, it was less than many in the bloc wanted, thanks to fierce resistance from France, Reuters said. If May fails to win over lawmakers on the treaty or fails to hold an election, Britain will leave with no deal on June 1. EU Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Thursday that a second referendum on Britain’s withdrawal from the EU, snap elections, and an additional Brexit extension are among the possible options for Britain.
