BLOOMBERG, LONDONBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the EU on Thursday gave themselves a week to agree on a Brexit plan. Otherwise, the UK will be heading for either a no-deal exit or another humiliating postponement of its departure from the EU. Johnson himself could hold meetings in several European capitals over the weekend, officials said. After politely welcoming the proposals on Wednesday, the main European institutions broke cover to criticize the plans. European Council President Donald Tusk, who spoke by telephone to Johnson and Irish President Leo Varadkar, said he was “unconvinced” by the proposals.
