EU leaders warned today that Britain's plans to protect the rights of European citizens post-Brexit risked leaving them worse off.<br/><br/>EU President Donald Tusk told a news conference after the second day of a Brussels summit that the UK offer is below our expectations and this risks worsening the situation of our citizens in the UK. <br/><br/>The fate of around three million European citizens living in Britain after Brexit is one of the most contentious issues in the negotiations on Britain's withdrawal from the 28-member bloc, which began on Monday.<br/>'<br/>One year after Britain voted to leave in the June 23 referendum, May promised that nobody would be forced to leave after Brexit, offering permanent rights over healthcare, education, welfare and pensions to Europeans who arrive before a cut-off date.But she declined to say when that date would fall, offering only a window between March 29, 2017, when Britain triggered the Brexit process, and its expected departure two<br/>years later.'<br/>'<br/>
