Prime Minister Theresa May is off to Brussels to ask for a delay to Britain's departure from the European Union. She has asked the EU to delay Brexit until June 30, in hope that'll be enough time to secure, approve and implement a deal. The 27 other leaders of the bloc will consider the request at an emergency Brexit summit in Brussels Wednesday evening. After failing to push through her Brexit deal with support from Conservatives alone, May last week began seeking a compromise with her Labour opponents. That's anathema to many in May's Conservative Party, who say it would not leave Britain free to strike its own trade deals around the world.
