British Secretary of State for Justice and leadership candidate for Britain’s ruling Conservative Party Michael Gove leaves after attending a cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street, in London, Tuesday, July 5, 2016.
Donald Tusk says Thursday that the European Treaty puts no pressure on a nation filing the Article 50 motion to leave the group at any certain time.

Since British voters opted to leave the European Union, the yuan lost about 1.3% against the dollar.
The dollar fell 1.2 percent to 100.49 yen, moving close to the June 24 trough of 99 yen, struck in the wake of the Brexit referendum vote when nerves were still raw.
Presently, Theresa May, interior minister, and Andrea Leadsom, a junior energy minister, are early favorites to replace Cameron. The victor of the contest will become prime minster of the United Kingdom and lead the country?s negotiations to leave the European Union.
But that won’t happen until a new prime minister is chosen, and may be delayed until early next year. The party’s 150,000 members will then decide the victor, with the result to be declared on Sep 9.
Theresa May, the frontrunner to replace British Prime Minister David Cameron, is “bloody difficult” and without much experience in foreign affairs, a senior Conservative lawmaker has been caught on camera saying.

The head of the British central bank made his third public appearance in 12 days on Tuesday to calm and assure the public after the seismic vote to leave the single market of some 500 million.
May, who was against Brexit, had initially said she is the best person for the job, adding on Tuesday after her victory that she is pleased to have the support of the majority of the party leadership. Leadsom’s tone contrasts with that of her leadership rival, Home Secretary Theresa May, who has ruled out doing so before the end of the year, saying Britain first needs to decide on a negotiating strategy.
One of the five candidates will be eliminated on Tuesday evening, followed by subsequent rounds of voting on Thursday and next Tuesday until just two remain.
The £4.4 billion Property Portfolio run by M&G Investments, the fund arm of insurer Prudential, was the latest to go on Tuesday afternoon. The final victor will be announced on 9 September.
