Britain EU Journey
FILE – In this Jan. 24, 1967 file photo, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, left, meets with French President Charles de Gaulle at the Elysee Palace in Paris. Later that year, de Gaulle would veto Britain’s efforts to join the-then European Economic Community. It was only after de Gaulle’s death that Britain eventually joined the EEC in 1973. Britain is scheduled to leave what became known as the European Union on Jan. 31, 2020. (AP Photo, File)
