As Britain’s historic vote to leave the EU continues to cause havoc in the 28-country bloc, a core trio of founding nations – France, Germany and Italy – are scrambling to stop the club from imploding.
But the three are struggling to show a united front, with leaders bickering on how to deal with the fallout from the UK’s exit.
This morning German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande insisted they are in “full agreement” on how to handle the fallout from the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
Hollande warned “separated, we run the risk of divisions, dissension and quarrels”.
But at the weekend two European leaders appeared at loggerheads, with Hollande calling for Britain’s exit to be as quick as possible, while Merkel urged for caution.
Merkel has said the EU has “no need to be nasty” in negotiations with Britain and said London should have the chance “to think again” about leaving the European club.
