×LONDON (AP) — Northern Ireland’s largest British unionist party has agreed to end a boycott that left the region’s people without apower-sharing administration for two years and rattled the foundations of the 25-year-old peace. He said he would publish details of the U.K. government's new proposals on Wednesday, after briefing all of Northern Ireland's main political parties. The political impasse in Northern Ireland stems from the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union and its borderless trading bloc after decades of membership. The DUP, though, says the new east-west customs border undermines Northern Ireland’s place in the U.K. “We are determined to take our place in taking Northern Ireland forward.”The situation has been complicated by Northern Ireland’s changing political landscape.
