FRANCE 24's Clovis Casali reports on the impacts of UK's exit, one year on, as post-Brexit relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union continue to be strained – by rows over irregular migration, over fishing rights and the Brexit deal itself.

Wrong to ‘conflate’ issues, Boris Johnson’s spokesman insists – after US official said talks were on hold because of Article 16 fears.

The United States will delay its deal to remove tariffs on UK steel and aluminum because of concerns about post-Brexit trade rules affecting Northern Ireland, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

"Has Article 16 been triggered? / To date, neither party has formally triggered Article 16. It has, however, been referred to by both the EU and UK."

The UK’s move to tear up rules over Northern Ireland is ‘dangerous’ and could put the peace process at risk, US lawmakers warned.

‘In the event of non-compliance.... we are committed to the consistent application of all agreed measures and countermeasures’.

Prime minister personifies British hostility to international democratic norms.

Downing Street said late last night the UK government is prepared to consider tearing up elements of Northern Ireland’s Brexit deal, despite a Cabinet minister insisting the option would not be used before Christmas.

NICOLA Sturgeon has warned the UK Government that following through on a threat to trigger a Brexit clause that would suspend part of the deal is “the most irresponsible thing that could be done right now” - as the First Minister insisted the move should not be made “to stoke tensions because there is a perception that plays well with domestic audiences”.

Brussels has warned the UK government that its Brexit trade deal is "intrinsically linked" to enforcing the Northern Ireland border protocol.

The European Union is awaiting a firm counterproposal from the United Kingdom to ease a standoff over how to deal with Britain’s departure from the bloc.

A SCOTTISH LibDem MP has demanded the UK Government rules out triggering Brexit clause that would essentially suspend part of the Norther Ireland Protocol – warning it cannot be used as “a get-out-of-jail free card”.

Business chiefs and economists say huge disruption lies ahead if Downing Street triggers Article 16.

Northern Ireland risks becoming a “legal basket case” that will deter trade and investment if Article 16 is triggered, companies have warned.

Dominic Cummings, the mastermind behind the 2016 U.K. vote to leave the European Union, said it would be a “disaster” if Prime Minister Boris Johnson suspended parts of the Brexit deal over trade in Northern Ireland.

“The dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric emanating from Boris Johnson’s Government is now undermining all of the progress we have made in recent years."

A series of demonstrations will be held along the Border next week telling UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to "back off" on plans to trigger Article 16.

Border Communities Against Brexit will protest at five locations on the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic in support of the protocol.

Special trade arrangements are crucial to peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland. Yet Brexiters in London refuse to see that.

“Senior EU officials in Brussels ... believe escalation in the form of a trade war — probably early in the new year — is now almost unavoidable,” Eurasia analysts have said.

A “tough guy” approach when it comes to Northern Ireland will lead to “disaster”, Irish minister for European affairs Thomas Byrne warned this morning.

European affairs minister says British government out of step with preserving peace with protocol threats.

Talks aimed at avoiding a trade war take place in ‘gloomy atmosphere’.

Concerns grow that Boris Johnson has already decided to trigger article 16 of Northern Ireland protocol.
