Icelanders refuse EU accession talks
A referendum in Iceland showed that 52.8% of voters voted against resuming talks on accession to the European Union, leading to the suspension of discussions about the country's membership until at least 2028. Iceland had applied for EU membership in 2009 following the financial crisis that impacted its economy, but negotiations halted in 2013 with the arrival of a government skeptical of the bloc. This result is a blow to the European Union, which was hoping for the accession of the wealthy island located north of the Atlantic Ocean.
