Britain and the European Union have reached an agreement on new trade rules in\u00a0Northern Ireland<\/a>\u00a0in an attempt to resolve a thorny issue that has fueled post-Brexit tensions in Europe and on the island of Ireland.<\/p>\n

The deal could potentially resolve the issue of imports and border checks in Northern Ireland, one of the most challenging and controversial aspects of the United Kingdom\u2019s split from the EU.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference in Windsor, just outside London, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that the new deal, called the \u201cWindsor Framework,\u201d will deliver \u201csmooth flowing trade\u201d within the UK, \u201cprotects Northern Ireland\u2019s place\u201d in the UK and \u201csafeguards\u201d the sovereignty of Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged the tense relations between the UK and EU since Brexit. She said that in order for the two parties to \u201cmake the most of our partnership\u201d new solutions were needed. She pointed to the UK and EU\u2019s cooperation on Ukraine and said that \u201cwe needed to listen to each others concerns very carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n

The purpose of the deal is to fix the issues created by the Northern Ireland Protocol, an addendum to the Brexit deal agreed by Boris Johnson and the EU in 2019. The protocol was created to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland by keeping Northern Ireland aligned with the EU, meaning goods don\u2019t need to be checked between the Republic and the province.<\/p>\n

The two leaders laid out three essential areas in which the new deal will improve the protocol.<\/p>\n
