U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attempt to seal a compromise agreement on the trading status of Northern Ireland
LONDON—U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will Monday attempt to seal a compromise agreement on the trading status of Northern Ireland, potentially ending a yearslong feud that has poisoned relations between the two sides and sparked concern in the Biden administration.
The deal, which officials say is likely to be announced Monday, is a gamble by Mr. Sunak that he can sell the modified version of the so-called Northern Ireland protocol to his restive Conservative Party and bring to an end the current political paralysis in Northern Ireland.
