Merkel briefly stuns audience with Brexit response 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBRUSSELS (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel briefly stunned reporters in Brussels on Friday when she appeared to say that she would work against Britain remaining in the European Union after a possible second referendum. Merkel, who was suffering from a cold throughout a two-day EU summit in Brussels, appeared to think she had been asked what she would do in the event of a disruptive “no-deal” Brexit. Her spokesman promptly told her that she had misheard the question, and she rephrased her answer. “That is a totally speculative question, and I never answer those.”
