European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told Italian public broadcaster RAI on Sunday he is "running out" of patience with the United Kingdom over Brexit.
His comments came two days after the divorce deal put forward by British Prime Minister Theresa May suffered a third defeat in parliament — a vote which occurred on the day the UK was initially scheduled to leave the European Union.
"With our British friends we have a lot of patience, but even patience is running out," Juncker said in an interview with Italian public broadcaster RAI on Sunday. "So far we know what the British parliament says no to, but we don't know what it might say yes to."
Juncker said he would like British parliament to agree on a path forward "in the coming hours and days."
Asked if a second referendum might be possible, the European Commission president said that is a matter "that concerns the British only."
