BREXIT: BACKSTOP INDISPENSABLE, MACRON TELLS JOHNSON

BORIS JOHNSON HAS MET EMMANUEL MACRON IN PARIS FOR BREXIT TALKS, WITH THE FRENCH PRESIDENT SAYING THE UK’S VOTE TO QUIT THE EU MUST BE RESPECTED.

BUT HE ADDED THAT THE IRELAND-NORTHERN IRELAND BACKSTOP PLAN WAS “INDISPENSABLE” TO PRESERVING POLITICAL STABILITY AND THE SINGLE MARKET.
