UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is in Belfast to seek support for his new post-Brexit trading deal for Northern Ireland.
He reached an agreement with the European Union on Monday.
“I’m pleased to report that we have now made a decisive breakthrough,” Sunak said, adding that they had agreed to change the original deal, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol, to create the “New Windsor Framework”.
“This is the beginning of a new chapter in our relationship.”
Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party says there's "significant progress" but warns that "key issues of concern" remain.
