US President Joe Biden has warned Boris Johnson and the UK government about ‘inflaming’ tensions in Ireland and the EU amid the fallout from Brexit. It was mentioned that Mr Biden would bring up the UK’s “increasingly heated rhetoric” of ignoring the protocol both in his meeting with Mr Johnson, and publicly in the G7 meeting this weekend. Mr Biden is due to meet with the UK Prime Minister today ahead of the G7 summit. I’m only going to say that President Biden is going to make statements in principle on this front. However, Mr Johnson said that fixing the issue was “easily doable”.
