How can Theresa May expect to get out of Europe when she can't even get out of her own car?

On Tuesday in Berlin, the British prime minister's car door wouldn't open for a few agonizing seconds, while Angela Merkel stood waiting on a red carpet while it poured with rain.

May was in Berlin for a hastily arranged meeting with the German chancellor to seek "further assurances" on the Brexit deal. The British PM held talks with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte earlier Tuesday and will be in Brussels for talks with European Council President Donald Tusk and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker later in the day.

On Monday, May said a vote by MPs on her Brexit deal that had been scheduled for Tuesday would be deferred so that she could seek "further assurances" from EU leaders. May said she would "discuss ... the clear concerns that this house has expressed," about the backstop for avoiding a hard border in Ireland.
