‘This legislation will fix the problems the Protocol has created, ensuring that goods can flow freely within the U.K., while avoiding a hard border and safeguarding the EU Single Market,’ Liz Truss says

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government will press ahead on Monday with legislation to scrap rules on post-Brexit trade with Northern Ireland, setting up further clashes with the European Union.

Foreign minister Liz Truss said London’s priority was to protect a 1998 peace deal that Ireland, the United States and other countries have said could be put at risk by replacing parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol. “A negotiated solution has been and remains our preference, but the EU continues to rule out changing the Protocol itself – even though it is patently causing serious problems in Northern Ireland – which therefore means we are obliged to act.”

The European Commission has launched legal proceedings against Britain, potentially leading to a trade war.
