(11 Dec 2018) British Prime Minister Theresa May has departed, following her meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte in The Hague on Tuesday. Top European Union officials on Tuesday ruled out any renegotiation of the divorce agreement with May as she launched her fight to save her Brexit deal by lobbying leaders in Europe's capitals. May began her quest over breakfast with Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte, a day after she abandoned a vote in the UK Parliament to secure support for the agreement thrashed out with the EU over more than a year, sensing that it would be rejected in London "by a significant margin". While May made no public comment as she met Rutte in The Hague, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned that the Brexit agreement cannot be re-opened for negotiation at a summit of EU leaders on Thursday, but he did say that elements of the deal could still be clarified.
