British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak struck a new deal with the European Union on post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland and said it would pave the way for a new chapter in London's relationship with the bloc
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson said "significant progress" had been made but they would not be rushed into making a decision. "There can be no disguising the fact that in some sectors of our economy EU law remains applicable in Northern Ireland," he added.
The European Research Group, which brings together pro-Brexit Conservative lawmakers, will also study the details before giving their verdict, a process that could take days. Were he to fail, he would probably face a rebellion from the eurosceptic wing of his party, reviving the deep ideological divisions that have at times paralysed the government since the vote to leave the EU in 2016.
Biden, who often speaks with pride of his Irish roots, has expressed concern about the political stand-off. U.S. officials had previously warned that any action which endangered the peace deal could harm the prospects of a US-UK trade deal.
