Northern Ireland Protocol hanging up Brexit finalization deal

The PM and Ursula von der Leyen said they would discuss the “range of complex challenges” around the Northern Ireland Protocol on Monday.

The UK wants to change the protocol, which sees some goods checked when entering from the rest of the UK.

Dominic Raab earlier said Britain and the EU were “on the cusp” of a deal.

In a joint statement issued by Downing Street on Sunday, Mr Sunak and Ms von der Leyen said: “Today, president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, agreed to continue their work in person towards shared, practical solutions for the range of complex challenges around the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.”

A deal has been expected for days, with recent talks focusing on its presentation and delivery.
