Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel expects Britain’s new government to “quickly” define its relationship with the European Union after conservative Theresa May becomes prime minister on Wednesday. “The United Kingdom will need to quickly clarify how it wants its ties with the European Union to be in future,” Merkel said late Monday at a reception for diplomats north of Berlin.
Merkel reiterated that it was now up to London to formally trigger Article 50 to leave the EU following last month’s Brexit vote. Only then could negotiations on any future relationship between Britain and the EU begin, she said.
