By Jill Lawless and Raf Casert The Associated Press LONDON Britain filed for divorce from the European Union on Wednesday, with fond words and promises of friendship that could not disguise the historic na- ture of the schism — or the years of argument and hard- nosed bargaining ahead as the U.K. leaves the embrace of the bloc for an uncertain future as "global Britain." Prime Minister Theresa May triggered the two-year divorce process in a six-page letter to EU Council Presi- dent Donald Tusk, vowing that Britain will maintain a "deep and special partner- ship" with its neighbors in the bloc. In response, Tusk told Britain: "We already miss you." May's invocation of Arti- cle 50 of the EU's key treaty sets the clock ticking on two years of negotiations un- til Britain becomes the first major nation to leave the union — as Big Ben bongs midnight on March29, 2019. The U.K.'s departure could not come at a worse time for the EU, which has grown from six founding members six decades ago to a vast, largely borderless span of 28 nations and half a billion people. Nationalist and populist parties are on the march across the con- tinent in revolt against the bloc's mission of "ever-closer union." And in Washington, President Donald Trump has derided the EU, NATO and other pillars of Western order built up since World War II. "This is an historic mo- ment from which there can be no turning back," May told lawmakers in the House of Commons, moments af- ter her letter was hand-de- livered to Tusk in Brussels by Britain's ambassador to the EU, Tim Barrow. In the letter, May said the two sides should "en- gage with one another con- structively and respectfully, in a spirit of sincere coop- eration." But for all the warmth, the next two years will be a tough test of the notion that divorcees can remain good friends. May is under pressure from her Conservative Party and Britain's largely Euro- skeptic press not to concede too much in exchange for a good trade deal with the EU. For their part, the other 27 members of the bloc will need to stick together and stand firm as they ride out the biggest threat in the union's history. Brexit has been hailed by populists across Europe — including French far-right leader Marine Le Pen — who hope the U.K.is only the first in a series of departures. EU leaders are determined to stop that happening. "The European Union is a historically unique success story," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in Ber- lin. "It remains one even af- ter Britain's withdrawal. We will take care of that." Britons voted 52 per- cent to 48 percent in favor of leaving the bloc in a ref- erendum nine months ago, and they remain deeply di- vided over Brexit. In the pro-Brexit heart- land of Dover on England's south coast — whose white cliffs face toward France — some were jubilant as May pulled the trigger. "I'm a local church minis- ter, and I said to my wife, 'All I want to do before I die is see mycountryfreefromthe shackles of Europe,'" said 70-year-old Mike Piper, buy- ing a copy of the Sun tabloid with the front-page headline "Dover and Out." FormerUKIPleaderNigel Farage, who campaigned for years to take Brexit from a fringe cause to a reality, said Britain had passed "the point of no return." "I can still, to be honest with you, scarcely believe to- day has come," he said. But many young Britons — who have grown up in the EU and voted overwhelm- ingly for Britain to remain a member — worried about how much they would lose. "I'm really anxious about it. It was a bad idea," said Elaine Morrison, an 18-year- old who was traveling to Barcelona with friends. "I like traveling to other coun- tries And it will be a trouble now. The pound is weaker so it will cost more to buy the euros, and the costs of travel will be more expen- sive. And there will be red tape." People in London's finan- cial district, the City, were anxious about the uncer- tainty. "No one knows how this is going to go," said City worker Nicola Gibson. "It's a gamble, it's a risk." May's six-page let- ter to Tusk was concilia- tory, stressing that Britons want to remain "commit- ted partners and allies to our friends across the con- tinent." But there was a hint of steel in May's assertion that without a good deal, "our cooperation in the fight against crime and terror- ism would be weakened." That could be seen by some in Europe as a threat to withdraw British secu- rity cooperation if the U.K. does not get its way. European Parliament Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt responded dip- lomatically: "I cannot, as a gentleman, even imagine that a lady as Mrs. May is using blackmail, is thinking of blackmail." Tusk said he will respond by Friday with draft negoti- ating guidelines for the re- maining 27 member states to consider. They'll meet April 29 to finalize their platform. Talks between the EU's chief negotiator, FrenchdiplomatMichelBar- nier, and his British counter- part, Brexit Secretary David Davis, are likely to start in the second half of May.
