European Council President Donald Tusk “on both sides of the Channel, everyone, including myself, is exhausted with Brexit, which is completely understandable.” However, he emphasized it’s not an excuse to say “let’s get it over with, just because we’re tired.”
He explicitly responded to a leader of a EU state who had warned “dreamers” not to think “Brexit could be reversed”. Tusk said: “At this rather difficult moment in our history, we need dreamers and dreams. We cannot give in to fatalism. At least I will not stop dreaming about a better and united Europe.”
European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said it was not his working assumption that Brexit could be reversed or extended beyond a new Oct. 31 deadline.
