Brexit border bother

BRUSSELS: European Council President Donald Tusk says he hopes to hear suggestions from British Prime Minister Theresa May on how to keep the Irish border open following Brexit, after she rejected the EU’s proposal.

May says the plan to keep Northern Ireland in the EU’s customs union would “undermine the constitutional integrity of the UK.”

Tusk said before leaving for the UK yesterday that “in a few hours I will be asking in London whether the UK government has a better idea that would be as effective in preventing a hard border”. – AP
