Britain's Parliament was expected Saturday to vote on a deal negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson with the European Union for an orderly withdrawal from the bloc. Instead, opposition and rebel lawmakerspassed a last-minute motion Saturdayto postponean important Brexit vote,legally forcing Johnson to request a delay of the U.K.s exit. A reluctant Johnson sent a letter requesting the delay late Saturday night, but he also made clear that he opposed Britain's departure, scheduled for Oct. 31.The outcome, and Johnson's response, injects new confusion and uncertainty into the Brexit process and piles pressure on Britain's leader just three months into his tenure. His governmentargued that any delay increases the likelihood of a"no deal" Brexit,which experts warn could harm Britains economy and lead to border chaos.Britains Parliament may vote on his deal as early as Monday.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper says that under current plans all U.S. troops leaving Syria will go to western Iraq and the military will continue to conduct operations against the Islamic State group to prevent its resurgence. Espers comments were the first to specifically lay out where American troops will go as they leave Syria and what the counter-IS fight could look like.Speaking to reporters traveling with him to the Middle East, Esper did not rule out the idea that U.S. forces would conduct counterterrorism missions from Iraq into Syria. But he said those details will be worked out over time. Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to defend his decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, opening the door to a Turkish assault on Kurds who had helped America combat the Islamic State, but in the process, he incorrectly identified his secretary of defense.
