1. Theresa May seeks concessions from EU leaders after postponing Brexit vote
British Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting with European leaders on Tuesday in a bid to salvage her deal on Britain's exit from the European Union. May on Monday postponed a crucial parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal with the EU, saying it faced rejection. May is expected to seek concessions from European leaders, including on the question of how to keep goods flowing across the border of Northern Ireland in the U.K. and EU-member Ireland. British lawmakers want flexibility on that issue, a key sticking point. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned that there was "no room whatsoever for renegotiation." The apparent impasse left no clear path forward for May's government ahead of the U.K.'s scheduled March exit from the European trading bloc.
