UK Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron does not want Britain to remain part of the EU's Galileo satellite programme post-Brexit. The EU previously said Britain should be denied access to the project because a third-party country could not be allowed access to EU secret technology. In August, May announced a UK investment of £100m ($129m) to research its own version of the global positioning system. May has told her cabinet she will not re-open negotiations over Galileo, according to an unnamed source. However, French President Theresa May would like the UK to remain part of the project.
