U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May suffered a defeat in parliament Wednesday, after members of her party voted to amend her Brexit blueprint, according to media reports. The move is expected to complicate May's efforts to exit the European Union in a smooth and orderly way. Members of parliament voted 309 to 305 in favor of an amendment that would require any final deal with the EU to be approved by statute passed by parliament.
