The European Union is offering the United Kingdom an extension to complete Brexit until October 31 — rejecting Prime Minister Theresa May's request for a shorter extension through June 30.
Details: EU leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, advocated for a longer extension believing 3 months wouldn't be enough to get out of the gridlock between British leadership, reports Bloomberg.
