Rutte said that "they can say in theory, on 12th of April we are getting out. But it can be something else," he said. The EU has asked the United Kingdom that in case its parliament rejects the withdrawal deal next week it should "indicate a way forward" by April 12. Rutte said he did not expect a departure that day already.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Boeing and federal regulators are still discussing details of the upgrade.
