UK, EU reach Brexit deal over Northern Ireland trade ending extended negotiations that spanned three different British prime ministers and under the cloud of the war in Ukraine
Deal announced by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen follows more than a year of tense negotiations over the"Northern Ireland Protocol".
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen adopted the deal at talks in Windsor, west of London, both sides announced on Monday. The UK government had threatened a unilateral overhaul of the protocol unless the EU agreed to wholesale changes, souring diplomatic ties and risking a wider trade war, but that prospect now appears to be receding.
It is likely to face opposition from Brexiteers, including Sunak's potentially rebellious predecessor Boris Johnson, and from lawmakers representing the pro-British unionist community in Northern Ireland.
