British Prime Minister, Theresa May has stood to her ground
stressing that she correct when she said she cannot ensure the right of EU
nationals the privilege to remain in the UK after Brexit or it would have left
British expatriates "high and dry".
Mrs May has been blamed for utilizing the privileges of EU
residents living in the UK as "negotiating tools" yet she advised MPs
she had been more right than wrong to do as such.
In any case, she said she needed to ensure an arrangement that
would offer security to Britons in Europe and EU nationals living and working
in the UK was struck at an early stage in Brexit transactions.
Though Mrs. May had endeavoured to strike an arrangement on
the issue in front of the formal transactions to put a conclusion to the
vulnerability of the 3.9 million EU residents in the UK and the 1.2m Brits
abroad. Be that as it may, her advances were dismisses by German chancellor
Angela Merkel.
President of the European Council Donald Tusk on Tuesday
composed a letter to 80 MPs, basically Conservatives, pointing the finger at
British voters for the nervousness and instability felt by British and EU
residents living abroad.
In light of a question on the letter at Prime Minister's
Questions, Mrs May said: "I hope that this is an issue that we can look
at, at an early stage of the negotiations. Of course there will be two years of
negotiations.
"I think it is right to want to give reassurance to
British citizens living in the EU and to EU citizens living here in the UK.
