Speaking at the London School of Economics on Monday, Ms Pelosi insisted that a US-UK trade agreement would be a “non-starter” if the Belfast Agreement were undermined. Ms Pelosi has become the most senior American politician to warn against a trade deal between the two countries as Brexit negotiations continue. The House of Representatives Speaker claimed that there would be “no chance whatsoever” of a US-UK trade deal between the two allies if the Irish peace process is harmed in her bold statement.
Ms Pelosi also revealed that in talks with Theresa May, pro-Brexit hardliners and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, she had warned of the outcome of a hard border between the Republic and Northern Ireland, as reported by Express.co.
