LONDON, (Reuters) – Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign Minister, urged Boris Johnson to not introduce any new post-Brexit trade legislations in the next few days. He said that this could threaten the Northern Ireland peace process.

Johnson’s top officials have threatened to take unilateral action on the British-run provincial rules for goods, alarming the European Union.

Coveney stated that London, Dublin, and Brussels might be able to find solutions to trade issues in Northern Ireland which have angered pro-British officials.

Sky News TV’s David Sullivan stated that “But sabre-rattling in Westminster and grandstanding in Westminster is not the best way to go about it,

Johnson reached a settlement with Britain when Britain left the EU. The deal effectively expelled Northern Ireland from the bloc’s single market, customs union, and single market.

Coveney indicated that he had plans to meet with Liz Truss (British Foreign Minister) on Monday.

Coveney spoke out, saying that “there is an opportunity” to bring the dialogue back in track. He urged London to refrain from “deliberately breaking international laws and creating enormous tension with our closest neighbors and potentially undermining peace processes by doing so.”

Pro-union and pro Irish parties supported the Northern Ireland Protocol. However, local elections this month in Northern Ireland led to a new deadlock.

Johnson will be visiting the province Monday. His office stated that he would send a tough message to politicians to help restore power-sharing structures.

Downing Street stated Johnson said he wouldn’t suggest scrapping Protocol. Instead, he suggested that Protocol be reform so it can achieve its original purpose of protecting Northern Irish peace agreements.

Kwasi Kwarteng from the British Business Ministry stated that London could unilaterally take action under Protocol to resolve trade disputes. However, London’s priority is political stability.

Sky spokeswoman Kwarteng said that “It is clear to me, that without modifications to the protocol that you’re never going to receive an assembly, that you’re no going to obtain an executive and that undermines stabilit,” Kwarteng explained to Sky.

To resolve this standoff, the United States called for continued communication between Britain and EU.
