Johnson asked Tusk to delay Brexit until January 31, 2020

“I am writing to notify the European Council that Britain is requesting further postponement of Brexit ... The United Kingdom proposes to extend this period until 23:00 on January 31, 2020. If the parties are able to ratify the agreement before this date, the Brexit postponement period will end earlier, ”Johnson writes to RIA Novosti.

Tusk said earlier that he had received a letter requesting a postponement of Brexit. According to the head of the European Council, he will begin consultations with leaders of the EU countries regarding a possible reaction to the request.
