BREXIT CHAOS: The status of Brexit appears to be unclear after British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday delayed a vote in Parliament to approve her controversial deal ... The move that presents an uncertain path ahead in Britain's lengthy divorce from the European Union. European Union official Donald Tusk says the bloc won't renegotiate the Brexit deal with the U.K. government as he called a summit Thursday to examine ways to help Britain ratify the deal. EU leaders were already scheduled to meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday to discuss migration and the bloc's future long-term budget, among other issues.
May's Conservative government does not have a majority in the House of Commons, and opposition parties — as well as dozens of Conservative lawmakers — say they will not back the Brexit deal May and EU leaders agreed upon last month. The vote had been set for Tuesday. It is not clear when it will be rescheduled. Pro-Brexit lawmakers say the deal keeps Britain bound too closely to the EU, while pro-EU politicians say it erects barriers between the U.K. and its biggest trading partner and leaves many details of the future relationship undecided. - Reported by Greg Norman and the Associated Press
