Theresa May is heading to another European Union summit, no longer as a negotiator, but as a supplicant. She wants the EU to give Britain three extra months before it exits. The EU must decide yes or no, and on what terms; then May will have to keep trying to sell her divorce deal as the country lurches toward one cliff edge or the next. Farce could turn into tragedy.
If only the prime minister had listened to Donald Trump, she wouldn’t be in this mess. That’s the message of an op-ed by First Son Donald Trump Jr. in the conservative Daily Telegraph. In it, he urges Britons and Americans to “reaffirm the decisions they made in 2016 to stand up for themselves against the global elite.”
