(VOVworld) –British Prime Minister Theresa May said a Britain-EU trade deal will not be ready to sign for two years until Brexit is completed in March 2019. Ms. May said during a visit to Jordan that the trade deal cannot be signed while Britain is still a member of the EU. Ratification of a trade agreement will take time and effort by both sides, said German foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel during a visit to London.

Ms. May said Tuesday that EU citizens will be able to move freely in the UK until March, 2019, adding that Britain and the EU should provide as much clarify and “legal certainty” to EU citizens, businesses and stakeholders as possible on what will happen to them after Brexit.
