LONDON (Bywire News) - On Tuesday, Brandon Lewis Britain's Northern Ireland minister said that a trade war between Britain and the EU would not benefit anyone involved and is unnecessary.
The EU has warned that it will take legal action should London take any unilateral action over the so-called Northern Ireland protocol, triggering a trade war.
When questioned by Times Radio, whether he was willing to risk a possible trade war during a cost of living crisis, Lewis said, "We don't think there is any need or any benefit for anybody in a trade war, this about resolving some technical issues with the protocol."
