DUP leader’s comments are latest salvo in party’s campaign to dilute or ditch Northern Ireland protocol
Arlene Foster, Northern Ireland’s first minister and leader of the Democratic Unionist party (DUP), has accused the EU of belligerence and inflexibility in its application of post-Brexit arrangements for the region.
The EU commission was disrupting supply chains and damaging the Good Friday agreement through a “disproportionate” application of the Northern Ireland protocol, the part of the Brexit deal that keeps the region in the bloc’s single market, she said on Friday.
