The British leader is negotiating with the European Union to replace the Northern Ireland Protocol.
UK and EU leaders have struck a new deal for Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit trade arrangements.
Customs controls and paperwork for goods entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK began post-Brexit.
Pro-British Unionists say this weakened Northern Ireland’s position in the UK and refused to take a seat in the power-sharing government in Belfast.
The new deal – the Windsor Framework – aims to make trading easier.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak speaks of a “decisive breakthrough” and a new start for relations with the EU.
According to the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von Der Leyen, both parties can start a “new chapter” with the deal.
Is Brexit finally done – or will there be more objections?
