British Prime Minister Theresa May says her government is seeking a transition period of about two years after Brexit, during which trade should continue on current terms. Pro-Brexit politicians and campaign groups, however, describe her intention to delay the UK's separation from the EU as a betrayal of those who voted in last year's referendum in favor of Brexit.
