- British Prime Minister Theresa May was coming to demand changes to the Brexit deal.
The European Union reacted in unison on Tuesday to news that British Prime Minister Theresa May was coming to demand changes to the Brexit deal the sides agreed just two weeks ago after 18 months of painstaking talks.
"There is no room whatsoever for renegotiation," said Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the EU's executive Commission. "But of course there is room enough to give further clarifications and further interpretations without opening the withdrawal agreement."
May, who on Monday conceded she lacked votes in her parliament to approve the accord, wants "additional legal reassurances" on the most contentious element of the deal - an emergency fix to avoid extensive border checks between EU-member Ireland and British-ruled Northern Ireland.
