British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday that a Brexit transition period will be agreed with the European Union in the next seven weeks as she tries to ease concerns that a deal may take longer to reach, Reuters reports.
The EU has offered Britain a status quo transition until the end of 2020 after Brexit. Both sides are aiming to reach an agreement in by the end of March.
"In seven weeks time, we will have an agreement with the European Union, that is the timetable they have said on an implementation period," May told the BBC in an interview.
