Macron: ‘Door Is Always Open’ for U.K. to Remain in EU

But stresses it would be “more difficult to reverse course.”

French President Emmanuel Macron told British Prime Minister Theresa May that the “door is always open” for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union. “Of course the door is always open as long as the negotiations on Brexit have not finished,” Macron said Tuesday alongside May during a press conference in Paris, adding that it would be “more difficult to reverse course.” Brexit negotiations are set to begin next week in Brussels, and May has committed to that time frame. May’s Conservative Party suffered heavy electoral losses last week, losing its majority in Parliament and forcing May to form a coalition government.
