Re: Britain outside the EU
Under pressure!

Joe Biden’s visit to the UK in doubt over slow progress on Northern Ireland Brexit talks
The US is ready to scrap mooted plans for Joe Biden to visit the UK for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement if Rishi Sunak fails to strike a deal with the EU on post-Brexit trade arrangements with Northern Ireland in time.
Diplomatic sources told i that US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is being lined up as an alternative to visit on behalf of the US, which is a guarantor to the peace agreement, if the President does not attend.
News that Mr Biden is considering cancelling his first bilateral trip to the UK puts increased pressure on the Prime Minister and the EU to reach an agreement.
