なんちゃって英語・英会話コミュのChina and EU (1)

European Union leaders sat down last week for what was supposed
to be a summit meeting to discuss China, perhaps the biggest external
economic and diplomatic challenge currently facing the EU.

Instead, they ended up talking about Brexit, again.
That UK lawmakers have spent the last 33 months since the country
voted to leave the EU failing to agree on how to do so has thrown
multiple spanners into the complicated workings of the bloc,
whose leaders desperately need to hash out unified policies
on a number of issues, but are instead constantly derailed by the one member
state who, at least in theory, doesn't want to be there.
