Brexit, a two-year odyssey
1. What do you think was the most significant thing that happened this week?
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty on Wednesday. This put the nation on a two-year countdown to its formal departure from the European Union (EU). During these two years, the United Kingdom will have to come to an agreement with the EU on the terms of its departure and how both parties are to go on from there.
Barring an agreement to extend the deadline for negotiations, the UK will leave the union on Mar 29, 2019.
