European Council President Donald Tusk’s musings on a "special place in hell" for those who campaigned for Brexit without planning the finer details were a “little provocative,” Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said.
U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday reiterated that the changes she’s seeking to the so-called Irish backstop withdrawal agreement must be legally binding for U.K. lawmakers to approve a deal. The prime minister also said she told Tusk his comments were “unhelpful’’ and had caused “dismay’’ in the U.K.
