Britain will one day rejoin the EU, the president of the European commission has suggested at the end of a summit to discuss the future of the bloc.
Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters on Friday that he regretted Britain’s decision to leave but held out hope that it would return in the future. “I don’t like Brexit,” he said. “I would like to be in the same boat as the British. The day will come when the British re-enter the boat. I hope.”
A senior Juncker aide later said the option of Britain returning to the EU “will always be open”. » | Daniel Boffey and Jennifer Rankin in Brussels | Friday, March 10, 2017
