Thursday’s European Union summit was supposed to be about relaunching the bloc after Brexit. The trouble is, Brexit hasn’t happened.
As Prime Minister Theresa May struggles to get an exit deal through the British Parliament, she politely declined the invitation to attend the meeting with the 27 other EU leaders in the 12th Century town of Sibiu, central Romania. The EU was relieved about that. It’s already divided enough over the challenges it faces in the coming months and knows Brexit may return to dominate summits again before long.
