European Council President Donald Trump has made a thinly disguised plea for the UK to stay with the EU. This announcement came after Britain’s PM Theresa May faced a crushing defeat in the parliament where her Brexit deal was dropped. He added that after the PM’s defeat any deal just looks unthinkable. He even tweeted that no one will have the courage to offer a positive solution when no one wants a deal.

As soon as the historic scale of the defeat was proclaimed, Donald Tusk requested PM Theresa May to mention her next steps. Brussels anticipated that May would be losing the vote on the Brexit deal she had reached with the EU. However, the massive defeat leaves little chance of the accord being restored. The deal which lay out the terms of Britain’s exit from the EU on 29th March 2019 was voted by 432 votes to 202. It’s the greatest defeat of a sitting government in history, as 118 votes came from May’s own Conservative Party. The vote result casts greater doubt on the Brexit process.

The result of the vote shocked EU officials and politicians. Even EU’s president Jean Claude Juncker mirrored Trump’s view by prompting the British government to state clear its plan as quickly as possible. He added that it’s vain for the UK to strike a deal. He added that the risk of a chaotic pull out of the UK from the EU just increased. However, the EU remains persistent to find a deal.

German Finance Minister and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that Tuesday was a harsh day for Europe. He added that for the EU and UK a hard Brexit would be the least enticing choice. Even French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the pressure now falls on the UK. He added that a conversion period is crucial as a no-deal Brexit can be dangerous.
