UK Prime Minister Theresa May will trigger Britain’s divorce proceedings with the EU on March 29, launching two years of negotiations that will reshape the future of the country and Europe. May‘s government informed European Council President Donald Tusk of the date when Britain intends to invoke Article 50 of its Lisbon Treaty. Notably, the EU said it was ready to begin the negotiations and within 48 hours of the trigger on March 29, Tusk will send the other 27 member states his draft negotiating guidelines, which means that talks could start at the earliest in May.
