PM May will meet Ireland's Leo Varadkar amid Irish backstop concerns

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar will hold a bilateral meeting with his British counterpart, Theresa May, in Brussels ahead of Thursday's summit of European Union leaders, a spokesman for Varadkar said.

May was due to travel to Dublin on Wednesday to meet Varadkar but had to stay in London instead to fight a leadership challenge. She won the vote but it was far from the robust affirmation she needed as she seeks to improve her Brexit divorce deal.
