British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday asked the European Union to delay Brexit until June 30. "I am... writing to inform the European Council that the UK is seeking an extension to the Article 50 period... until 30 June 2019," May said in a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk. May said she wanted an orderly exit from the EU and that she intended to bring her twice-defeated divorce deal back to parliament, though she didn't say when.
