UK welcome back into the EU if it chooses to stay, Schaeuble says

Britain would be welcomed back into the European Union should it decide to stay, Germany's finance minister said.

In an interview with Bloomberg News, Wolfgang Schaeuble also said he had spoken with Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond following the General Election.

His conclusion from that conversation was "we have to leave them some days [to decide how to proceed]".

"It's up to the British government to take their own decisions [on Brexit]," Schaeuble reportedly added.
