Rutte asks the clarity of May Interior

Prime Minister May is trying to find allies in the EU for his Brexit strategy, in which the UK remains subject to the terms of the Customs Union. May is in a hurry because in a few days she has to convince her own government of plans. She wants to prevent that she reaches a compromise at home and is then taken to Brussels. The UK is already leaving the EU on March 29 of next year

. Despite his criticisms, Rutte also had warm words for his British colleague. "For centuries, the warm connection between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom has been established, and we are thinking the same about democracy, peace and security." Rutte spoke about cooperation in the fields of defense, terrorism and development cooperation. "And culturally, we appreciate everyone's sense of humor, even though I can not pretend that we are getting closer to the beautiful tradition of British comedy."
