(12 Dec 2018) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday underlined the European Union's insistence on sticking to the Brexit agreement as it stood, but stressed that she remained committed to an orderly British withdrawal. Merkel, who met Tuesday with British Prime Minister Theresa May, noted that things are "in flux" in London. She said that "we do not have any intention of changing the withdrawal agreement" but didn't go into details. Merkel added that Germany remained committed to securing an orderly British withdrawal. The future status of British citizens living in Germany and German citizens living in Britain affected by the Brexit process remains especially uncertain following the news that May will face a no-confidence vote later Wednesday from lawmakers in her own party. A withdrawal agreement ahead of Britain's exit from the European Union in March has yet to be voted on by the British Parliament.
