No deal is 'better option' says Lithuanian president
No Deal Brexit would be "better" than an extension of the Article 50 negotiating process as a clean British withdrawal from the European Union would put an end to months of uncertainty, Lithuanian Prime Minister Dalia Grybauskaitė admitted.
Lithuanian leader Dalia Grybauskaitė claimed a no deal Brexit would create less damage than extending the negotiating process under Article 50.
Ms Grybauskaitė insisted the European Union would be willing to accommodate a request for postponing the withdrawal date past March 29 but suggested a swift exit would be "better" for all parties involved.
Theresa May has refused to take no deal off the table after her draft divorce deal was rejected in the Commons earlier this month, forcing some EU member states to launch contingency plans for an abrupt British exit from the bloc.
