EU member states grant Britain three-month Brexit 'flextension'

EU member states are expected to formalize the decision in writing, Tusk adds.

The British premier is due to ask lawmakers to vote later Monday on holding an election on December 12 in return for more time to scrutinize his Brexit deal.
