BRUSSELS:
Prime Minister Theresa May has accepted an offer of two options for short delays to the date of Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, EU president Donald Tusk said Thursday.

“I met Prime Minister May several times tonight to make sure the UK accepts the extension scenarios and I am pleased to confirm we have an agreement on this,” the EU council president said.

Prior to this, the premier had asked Donald for the withdrawal date to be moved to June 30 from March 29.
