MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Brexit negotiators must be careful not to trigger Article 50 too soon as "if we serve notice too quick to quit there's no guarantee jobs won't leave," according to the mayor.
"Now it's for them [UK European negotiators] to persuade the EU how we can get the best of both worlds, how it's possible to have access to the single market and not have free movement of labour. Maybe waiting for French and German elections to be out of the way gives the new French president or German chancellor more of a chance for latitude for some of the things that the British public say we need," Khan told Sky News broadcaster.
The United Kingdom is now expected to invoke Article 50 of the EU Lisbon Treaty to initiate the formal process of withdrawal from the bloc and start talks with the EU leaders on the new format of their relations.
