LONDON (AP) — The Latest on Britain's scheduled exit from the European Union (all times local):
4:30 p.m.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has told business leaders in Northern Ireland that she is seeking changes to the Brexit withdrawal agreement but not the total removal of the backstop plan that is the most contentious part of the deal.
May said during a visit to Belfast Tuesday that the British government retains its "unshakeable" commitment to preventing the construction of a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland when Britain leaves the European Union.
Britain is scheduled to leave the bloc on March 29, but no withdrawal agreement has been approved because Britain's Parliament has voted down May's plan.
