LONDON (AP) The British government released detailed plans today for what it called a principled pragmatic and ambitious Brexit plans that already triggered the resignation of two top ministers and split the governing Conservative Party, and which face likely resistance from the European Union.
The long-awaited document proposes keeping Britain and the EU in a free market for goods, with a more distant relationship for services.
Prime Minister Theresa Mays government is trying to satisfy Britons who voted for their country to leave the bloc, but to set an independent course without hobbling businesses, security agencies and other sectors that are closely entwined with the EU.
