As she prepares for crunch EU talks this week, the foreign secretary says her priority is to protect Northern Ireland’s peace deal
The foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has warned she is prepared to unilaterally override parts of the post-Brexit agreement on Northern Ireland if the negotiations she is newly leading fail.
Truss said she would suggest “constructive proposals” to her EU counterpart, Maroš Šefčovič, this week during their first face-to-face talks.
