The leader of Northern Ireland’s second-largest political party, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, reacted today after the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said the U.S. Congress could block a free-trade agreement with Britain if the Northern Ireland Protocol is jettisoned.
Pelosi said it was “deeply concerning” that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared to be planning to ditch the protocol, which was negotiated with the European Union to govern post-Brexit trading arrangements, and she claimed it could undermine the Good Friday Agreement.
