May sends a letter to Tusk requesting a deferment of brexit

“British Prime Minister Theresa May will send a request to the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk,” he said.

The representative office of the prime minister said that May plans to send a petition to the EU before March 21, when the planned two-day meeting of the heads of state and government of the European Union will begin in Brussels.

Earlier it became known that the British Parliament voted to postpone the UK's exit from the EU to a later date.
