Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he told the U.S. government during a recent visit to Washington it was the European Union, not the United Kingdom, that was threatening the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland.

LONDON - Britain’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he told the U.S. government during a recent visit to Washington it was the European Union, not the United Kingdom, that was threatening the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland.

The British government has put forward new legislation that would breach the Northern Ireland protocol, a part of Britain’s divorce deal with the EU that seeks to avoid border checks between British-ruled Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland. U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has warned Britain that it must honour the Good Friday Agreement as it withdraws from the European Union, or there would be no separate U.S. trade deal.

This is really Trump style.

its London then---islamic half pint causing problems

The UK government is full of warm, runny faecal matter.

No, it's London and that scrappy little Johnson fellow who is threatening the peace In my view, they only way to preserve peace is a unified ireland, with northern ireland leaving the uk and staying in the eu with the republic of ireland

It is true. The EU used Northern Ireland as a weapon against the UK from leaving the EU from the very beginning. The EU have become a tyrannical international organization in direct violation to its own principals.

Are you really the good guy?

They do know that the EU speaks to the US?

Who would believe that bunch of flat earthers!

DominicRaab It is always someone else's fault, isn't it?

BREXIT has been mismanaged from day one, no one believes Dominic Raab for one second.

The behaviour of the British government is unbelievable. Break contracts and put the blame on s.b. else.

They lie to us. We know they lie to us. They know that we know they lie to us. Yet they still do it!

all these Tories do is lie and push the blame into someone else 🤬

100% correct

The UK has been mismanaged. Unfortunately, it’s government has not lost the arrogance typically associated with incompetence.

... because they selfishly won’t change their rules and bow down to the U.K.
