NEW YORK (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of Germany and France called for more clarity from London on Tuesday after British Prime Minister Theresa May said she would seek a further delay to Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.

“I’m tempted to say let us know if something changes,” said France’s Jean-Yves Le Drian at a joint press conference the two held in New York. “Three years after their decision, the British must come up with a clear line because otherwise, sadly, it’ll be a hard Brexit in coming days.”

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas declined to comment on the request for an extension but urged London to move swiftly: “That we’re long past five after midnight - they must know that in London, too.”
