EU leaders agreed to grant the U.K. a three-month delay to Brexit, but Brexit could happen before then if U.K. lawmakers ratify a deal before then.
POOL/AFP via Getty Images: EU leaders have agreed to grant the U.K. a three-month delay to Brexit, meaning the October 31 exit deadline has been extended until January 31 2020, at the latest.
The “flextension” means that the U.K. would be allowed to leave the EU before January 31, if the British and European Parliaments ratified a deal before then.
