Global News published this video item, entitled “Sunak, von der Leyen deliver remarks after meeting on Northern Ireland protocol | LIVE” – below is their description.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Union (EU) Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will speak to the media on Monday after meeting to work out details of a deal on Northern Ireland trade.
Sign of a potential U.K.-EU breakthrough came Sunday after when the two sides announced that von der Leyen would travel to England for a meeting with Sunak in Windsor, about 32 kilometres west of London.
A meeting between von der Leyen and King Charles is also planned at Windsor Castle, likely to touch on a number of issues including climate change and the war in Ukraine.
If all goes well, the deal could end a dispute that has soured U.K-EU relations, sparked the collapse of the Belfast-based regional government and shaken a decades-old peace process.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the U.K. that shares a border with a EU member, the Republic of Ireland. When the U.K. left the Bloc in 2020, the two sides agreed to keep the border free of customs posts and other checks.
