Britain will leave the European Union's single market when it exits the group, Prime Minister Theresa May said Jan. 17, putting an end to speculation that London might try to seek a "soft Brexit."

In a speech in which she sought to define the country's future as a global player that aims to trade freely far beyond Europe, May said the final exit deal will be put to Parliament for a vote.

May said she wants "the greatest possible access to (the EU) through a new comprehensive, bold and ambitious free trade agreement." (Reuters)
