News is being added.
On February 27, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen held the final talks for a new deal – an agreement in which the UK was inspected for certain goods as they entered Northern Ireland from the rest of the country. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab had previously said the UK and the EU were “on the cusp” of an agreement.
Northern Ireland, which left the European Union as part of the Kingdom, remained a member of the EU customs union following Brexit, according to a trade agreement signed in December 2020.
A referendum was held in 2016 for the UK to leave the European Union. Pro-Brexit supporters won the referendum with 51.9%, while 48.1% opposed it. Voting results in different parts of the kingdom differed: residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland mainly spoke out against the exit and supported Brexit in England (excluding London) and Wales.
