LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s promise to pay a financial settlement worth around 35 to 39 billion pounds to the European Union is conditional upon agreeing a future partnership with the bloc, British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday.

“If we don’t agree that partnership, then this offer is off the table,” May told parliament.
