Tusk: The EU can do nothing more to help Theresa May

The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, today expressed satisfaction with the results of the two-day summit of European Union (EU) leaders dedicated to Brexit and added that the EU cannot do anything additional to help British Prime Minister Theresa May.

Tusk told reporters at the end of the summit that "the fate of Brexit is in the hands of British friends."

The President of the European Council said that EU leaders are prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

EU leaders agreed last night at a summit in Brussels to grant the UK two options for delaying Brexit, which was originally scheduled for March 29.

They agreed to postpone Brezgit until May 22 if British MPs next week approve the agreement that Prime Minister Theresa May reached with the Union.

If they do not approve it, the delay will be shorter, until April 12. Then Great Britain must outline what next steps it plans or leave the Union without an agreement.

The British Prime Minister said she will ask MPs to support her deal to leave the EU.

The British parliament has twice rejected the agreement reached by London and Brussels in November.
