LONDON: Talks between Britain and the European Union to resolve problems with the Brexit agreement regarding Northern Ireland will move to London next week, with the UK government warning on Saturday that"substantial gaps" remained.

London added that talks over the previous days had been"constructive" but that"substantial gaps" remain. As a result, Britain is threatening to trigger the protocol's Article 16, which provides both parties with unilateral power to take action if they believe the agreement is causing"serious economic, societal or environmental difficulties that are liable to persist".

"Whether we're able to establish that momentum soon will help us determine if we can bridge the gap or if we need to use Article 16 to safeguard the Belfast Agreement."
