The UK gives the EU two weeks either to risk a new ‘approach’ by London or agree the Axis trade checks launched by Brexit deal for Northern Ireland (NI).

US President Joe Biden will warn British Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to renege on the Northern Ireland Brexit deal when they meet for the first time at the G7 summit this week, The Times reported on Monday.

Britain has asked for an extension until 2023 of a grace period on checks that would be conducted on trade moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom to soften the Brexit impact on the province.
