"Today we have agreed legally binding changes that will guarantee that the EU cannot enforce the backstop indefinitely," she says.

That was never the case. It has always been AND STILL IS, that by refusing to come to an agreement on alternative arrangements, the backstop remains.
Original draft agreement on the backstop.
Quote:
3. This Protocol sets out arrangements necessary to address the unique circumstances on the
island of Ireland, maintain the necessary conditions for continued North-South cooperation, avoid a
hard border and protect the 1998 Agreement in all its dimensions.
4. The objective of the Withdrawal Agreement is not to establish a permanent relationship
between the Union and the United Kingdom. The provisions of this Protocol are therefore intended
to apply only temporarily, taking into account the commitments of the Parties set out in Article
2(1). The provisions of this Protocol shall apply unless and until they are superseded, in whole or in
part, by a subsequent agreement.

No subsequent agreement = backstop remains.
