BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday told Britain not to have any "illusions" that it would have the same rights as an EU member after it leaves the bloc.
"A third-party state will not have the same rights or even superior rights to a member state," Merkel said ahead of a Brussels summit Saturday on Brexit.
"This may sound self-evident, but I have to say this because some in Britain seem to have illusions on this point," Merkel told the German parliament. (APP)
