France won’t accept the extension of Brexit talks unless the U.K. government offers “guarantees” that the deal between London and the European Union will be passed in British parliament, French Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Wednesday.
“If she can’t bring the sufficient guarantees, it would cause us to cast aside the request and prepare for a hard exit,” Le Drian said during question time at the National Assembly, referring to British Prime Minister Theresa May.
