BRUSSELS: European Union leaders will grant Prime Minister Theresa May a second delay to Britain’s fraught exit at an emergency summit on Wednesday but will argue over how long and on what terms. Three weeks ago, Macron’s impatience with France’s historic cross-Channel rival dominated the last summit, when Brexit was put back by a fortnight. Legally, Britain is due to leave the EU on Friday with no transition to new trading arrangements. Some, like Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, said Britain should have a full year more to sort itself out. If Britain does not elect EU lawmakers, it must leave, with or without a deal, on June 1, according to a draft summit agreement seen by Reuters.
