Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin warned Boris Johnson against tampering with the Brexit divorce agreement he signed last year, saying doing so would torpedo any trade deal between Britain and the European Union.
“The Withdrawal Agreement is an international treaty, and we expect the U.K. government to implement and to adhere to what was agreed,” Martin said in an interview with the Irish Examiner published on Tuesday. “We trust them to do so or they would render the talks process null and void.”
