LONDON (AP) – The Latest on Brexit (all times local):

9:30 a.m.

British Prime Minister Theresa May writes in an article for a German daily that while her country “will leave the EU, we will not leave Europe.”

One day after triggering Britain’s exit from the European Union, May writes in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the decision to leave the bloc “is not a rejection of the values we share as Europeans … nor an attempt to harm the European Union or its remaining member countries.”

In the article published Thursday, May writes: “We know that we will lose influence regarding the regulations of the European economy. … We accept that.”
