Great Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May will meet the leaders of Germany and France four days before the country expires its deadline for exit from the European Union.
May will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, while then travel to Paris, where she will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, from whom she will request a postponement of Brex's deadline by June 30th.
May will be part of an extraordinary summit Wednesday, where the 28 EU member states will vote for the extension of that deadline.
Great Britain is obliged to leave the EU at 11:00 Friday.
MPs have rejected Theresa May's withdrawal agreement with other European leaders last year.
