The stand-off between Britain and the European Union over post-Brexit trading rules for Northern Ireland threatens to create "cold mistrust" in the broader relationship between London and the bloc, Britain's Brexit minister said on Saturday, APA reports quoting Reuters.
David Frost said Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government did not want to sweep away the so-called Northern Ireland Protocol, but did need to see "substantial and significant change".
Those changes covered the movement of goods into Northern Ireland, standards for goods and governance arrangements.
"I want to be clear that any response which avoids serious engagement with those ideas, and aims at just dragging out the process, will in the end not work for us," Frost said in a speech to the British-Irish Association.
