LONDON — The latest on Brexit (all times local):
1:50 a.m.
Britain’s ambassador to the U.N. says the United Kingdom may be leaving the European Union but it isn’t leaving Europe and will remain a major player on the world stage including at the United Nations.
Matthew Rycroft says Britain’s presence on the world stage is in many ways reflected at the U.N. Security Council, where the U.K. has a permanent seat and where he was presiding Wednesday as this month’s president of the U.N.’s most powerful body.
