Former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who spearheaded the campaign for Brexit, said he expects Prime Minister Theresa May to negotiate a new relationship with the European Union akin to that of Norway.
The U.K. could leave the EU “in two weeks,” Farage said Thursday on BBC television’s Question Time program. “We could just say that’s it, we’re leaving, and we’ll trade with you on WTO rules,” he said, referring to World Trade Organization tariffs and regulations.
