Donald Tusk: after leaving EU, UK to become an outsider

After leaving the European Union, the United Kingdom will become an outsider, a second league player,  according to Donald Tusk, head of the European Council.

“After Brexit, the key positions ‘on the battlefield’ will be taken by the United States, China, and the European Union,” Donald Tusk added.

He stressed, however, that Britain's exit from the EU is not yet a foregone conclusion. “We've had extra time in this match, we have extra time now, maybe there will be penalties. So, fight, don't give up,” he appealed to the British in the context of the parliamentary elections scheduled for 12 December. Tusk assured that he was trying to postpone Brexit to give Britain time to change its decision.
