BRUSSELS: European leaders will embark this week on a frantic drive to push Britain for a quick divorce, with top US diplomat John Kerry rushing to join discussions as the "Brexit" crisis goes global.
Germany's powerful Chancellor Angela Merkel will host the leaders of France, Italy and the EU in Berlin on Monday amid fears Britain's vote to leave will create a domino effect in eurosceptic member states.
In what promises to be one of the bitterest summits in the EU's history, British Prime Minister David Cameron will then face huge pressure in Brussels on Tuesday to immediately trigger the two-year exit process.
But Cameron, who has said he will resign by October and leave the negotiations to his successor, is to be left out in the cold on the second day of the summit on Wednesday when the other 27 EU leaders meet without him.
