May may be open to transitional agreement with EU

London

PRIME Minister Theresa May pledged on Monday to address business concerns that Britain could fall off a "cliff edge" into uncertain trading conditions after leaving the European Union (EU) as part of her "Brexit" negotiation.

It was the strongest sign yet that Mrs May could be open to some form of transitional agreement with the EU, a deal that would offer Britain time to forge a new trading relationship when the up to two-year formal divorce talks are concluded.
