The United States wants the terms of Britain's exit from the European Union...
SHANNON, Ireland - The United States wants the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union to protect stability on the island of Ireland and respect Northern Ireland’s 1998 peace deal, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Monday.
A proposed clause in Britain’s EU divorce deal designed to protect the peace deal by ensuring an open border between Ireland and Northern Ireland has become the key sticking point in efforts to agree a managed exit before Britain’s exit date of Oct. 31, raising fears of a chaotic withdrawal. “We will continue to work closely with our partners in Ireland and the United Kingdom to support a Brexit plan that encourages stability and also one that keeps the strong foundation forged by the Good Friday Agreement,” Pence told reporters after arriving in Ireland for a two-day visit.
On Thursday Pence is due to visit London and meet with Johnson, who U.S. President Donald Trump last week praised as “exactly what the U.K. has been looking for”.
