According to the results of the 2016 referendum, the United Kingdom planned to withdraw from the European Union on March 29, 2019. For several months, the country's prime minister, Teresa May, had been unsuccessfully trying to negotiate a Brexit agreement agreed with Brussels through parliament, but the parliamentarians rejected it. To prevent the withdrawal from the European Union without a deal, the UK has already received a deferment from Brussels twice - now Brexit should take place before October 31 of this year.
