EU Approves Brexit Extension

The EU, led by Donald Tusk, agreed to the UK's request for a Brexit extension until January 31, 2020. This extension includes clauses allowing the UK to leave earlier if a withdrawal agreement is ratified. Boris Johnson requested this extension after previously stating the UK would leave by October 31, with or without a deal. French President Macron initially opposed the extension but reconsidered due to potential UK elections. The SNP and Liberal Democrats support a December 12 election if a no-deal Brexit is off the table. Johnson urged Labour's Jeremy Corbyn to back the election, but Labour demands further assurances against a no-deal Brexit.
