British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has grudgingly accepted a three-month delay to the U.K.'s departure from the European Union, but stressed that he's doing it against his will and urged the EU to grant no more delays.
In a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk, Johnson says that under U.K. law "I have no discretion . to do anything other than confirm the U.K.'s formal agreement to this extension."
He called the delay "unwanted" and said it was "imposed on this government against its will."
Johnson requested the delay on the orders of Parliament.
In his letter, Johnson urges the 27 other EU countries "to make clear that a further extension after 31 January is not possible."
Johnson is pushing for an early U.K. election in a bid to break Britain's Brexit deadlock.
