British business leaders have urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to enter a “damaging trade war” with the E.U. after the government set out its plans to scrap parts of the UK-E.U. agreement governing post-Brexit trade arrangements in Northern Ireland.
The Foreign Office said on Monday that the new legislation is intended to “fix parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol—making the changes necessary to restore stability and ensure the delicate balance of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement is protected.”
