POTUS will be hoping he can end the ‘sausage wars’ between Britain and the European Union as he meets Boris Johnson for the first time today
A trade crisis has deepened after the UK government threatened to ferry British meat into Northern Ireland without any checks.
In the US president’s first overseas visit, aides said he will stress the need to ‘stand behind’ the protocol and not put the Good Friday Agreement at risk. The newspaper reported that Government minutes of the meeting said: ‘Lempert implied that the UK had been inflaming the rhetoric, by asking if he would keep it “cool”.’The US diplomat indicated that if Mr Johnson accepted demands to follow EU rules on agricultural standards, Mr Biden would ensure that it would not ‘negatively affect the chances of reaching a US/UK free trade deal’.
