UK and EU strike deal on Northern Ireland trade

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The UK and the EU reached a deal after months of talks over contentious post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland. Details are now being pored over by lawmakers on both sides of the English Channel, but the plan is aimed at easing customs red-tape, equalizing some tax rules across the United Kingdom, and giving Northern Ireland’s lawmakers more of a say over the future of the arrangement.
