Al Jazeera
Boris Johnson played down differences between UK and the US about the effect of Brexit on the peace in Northern Ireland, saying the two countries and the EU were in ‘complete harmony’ on the 1998 peace agreement.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has hailed US President Joe Biden as “a big breath of fresh air” and played down differences about the effect of Brexit on the peace agreement in Northern Ireland, after they met on the eve of the G7 summit. The pair were all smiles as they posed for the media before 90 minutes of closed-door discussions, overshadowed by claims Biden had ordered a rebuke to London amid its dispute with the European Union about new trading arrangements in Northern Ireland. After the talks in Cornwall, England, Johnson said the United States, United Kingdom and EU were in “complete harmony” on finding solutions to uphold the 1998 peace deal that ended decades of sectarian conflict in the British province.
