Boris Johnson quits as UK’s foreign secretary over May's Brexit plans
UK's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has resigned amid a growing political crisis over the country’s Brexit strategy, BBC reported.
Johnson is the second senior cabinet minister to quit within hours following Brexit Secretary David Davis's exit.
His departure came shortly before Theresa May began addressing Parliament about her new Brexit plan, which has angered many Conservative MPs.
She said she did not agree with the two ex-ministers about "the best way to honour" the result of the 2016 vote.
The UK is due to leave the European Union on 29 March 2019, but the two sides have yet to agree how trade will work between the UK and the EU afterwards.
There have been differences within the Conservatives over how far the UK should prioritise the economy by compromising on issues such as leaving the remit of the European Court of Justice and ending free movement of people, the source said.
