Tusk said in Brussels a short extension to Britain's exit would be possible, but it would be conditional on a positive vote on the Withdrawal Agreement in the House of Commons.
May said in her short speech she will work night and day to try and convince MPs from her own Conservative Party, as well as the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP and others to back her deal.
Warning that a delay beyond June would mean British people having to vote in EU parliament elections, May said it would be bitter and divisive at the time that the country needs to come back together.
Reaction from MPs was swift with former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who backs a second referendum saying he will not be bullied by anybody in Government to support something he does not believe in.
Liberal Democrat politician Ed Davey commented: "Theresa May has lost it. Threatening our country with a 'No Deal' Brexit is not leadership."
Media reports in London said that at a private meeting with leaders of political parties ahead of her statement, she ruled out an option of calling a snap election.
