SALZBURG, Austria (AP) - British Prime Minister Theresa May is discussing Brexit with the leader of Austria, which currently holds the rotating European Union presidency. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz says he hopes to find a “solution” by October.
The visit comes amid big differences between Britain and the EU over the terms of a future trade relationship and how to regulate the Ireland-Northern Ireland border.
Kurz said that “from our point of view, it’s important to avoid a hard Brexit.” He added: “I hope that we can be successful and find a solution ’til October.”
