Dutch PM Rutte: PM May's letter not enough to allow further extension
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was out with some Brexit comments in the last hour, saying that the UK PM Theresa May's request for a Brexit extension raises many questions and is not enough to allow a further extension.
Additional quotes:
• Hope that the UK will give more clarity before the EU summit.
• Options to prevent no-deal Brexit are limited.
Meanwhile, the British Pound reacted negatively to Rutte's comments and dragged the GBP/USD pair to fresh session low, further below mid-1.3000s.
