May pens to Tusk seeking Brexit delay till June 30

Prime Minister Theresa May asked the European Union on Friday to delay Britain's departure from the bloc until June 30, with the extended ending earlier if parliament approves her Brexit deal.

"The United Kingdom proposes that (the extension) should end on June 30 2019. If the parties are able to ratify before this date, the government proposes that the period should be terminated earlier," May wrote in a letter to EU Council president Donald Tusk.
