Vijeta Uniyal at Legal Insurrection explains Trump's offer:
"We are going to see if we can work something out,” President Trump said on Wednesday. The U.S. President will be in France this weekend to attend the annual Group of Seven (G-7) summit.'Force Britain to accept.' According to Das Wiki, “Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) states that “Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements”.
The comment came as Prime Minister Johnson met German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron to find a solution to the Brexit impasse. With just 70 days to the October 31 deadline, Germany and France are refusing to renegotiate the Brexit terms offered by the EU. In case the EU fails to offer a better deal, Prime Minister Johnson has threatened a no-deal Brexit, ending existing trade and immigration agreements between London and Brussels.
Chancellor Merkel refused to offer any assurance to the visiting British Prime Minister on Wednesday. Today, French President reiterated a similar position while receiving premier Johnson at the Champs-Élysées. Germany and France are offering a united front to force Britain to accept the terms offered by the EU."
Perhaps Merkel should acquaint herself with it.
Near as I can tell, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary all have growing ‘exit’ movements. Poland, too. Whether it will happen is another tale, but if Great Britain successfully extricates itself from its incestuous relationship with Mutter Merkel, I dare say many of those other dominoes on the continent will fall in fast succession. Greenland left in 1985, thank you very much, and their autonomy might explain why they're so reluctant to be another Trump real estate deal.
“With just 70 days to the October 31 deadline, Germany and France are refusing to renegotiate the Brexit terms offered by the EU.”Oh, good grief. A middle finger salute, Boris, followed by ‘No Deal’ Brexit. Just do it.
