France sees no justification for new Brexit deadline extension – FM
France sees no grounds to extend Britain’s October 31 deadline to leave the EU, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Tuesday.
“At this stage, we consider that there is no justification for a new extension,” Le Drian told the French parliament.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is trying to pass a withdrawal agreement through parliament so that Britain can leave the EU on October 31.
He reluctantly sent a letter to the EU on Saturday to ask for an extension to the deadline, having been required to do so by lawmakers, Reuters said.
