BREXIT/EU/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump expressed skepticism Thursday [3-14-19] that the United Kingdom could put the question of whether to leave the European Union to another vote, saying it would be unfair. In a news conference with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, Trump said he was ‘surprised at how badly’ Brexit negotiations have gone and that he thought it could have been negotiated differently. He also said he would visit Ireland sometime this year…The U.K. is slated to leave the European Union on March 29, and Parliament is set to vote Thursday on whether to extend the deadline. Lawmakers twice rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement with the EU and voted to oppose a Brexit without an agreement.”
