LONDON: Prime Minister Theresa May told the EU’s Donald Tusk on Monday that Britain would set more details on its vision for a future relationship with the bloc after a June 28-29 summit.

May has struggled to find a proposal on post-Brexit customs arrangements – the biggest stumbling block so far in exit talks – to take into negotiations with Brussels as the clock ticks down to Britain’s scheduled exit in March 2019.

May met European Council President Tusk at Downing Street on Monday. A Downing Street spokesman said May had told Tusk she looked forward to discussing the progress made so far and would set out more detail in a White Paper after the June Council.
