September 9 The UK government has introduced a highly controversial internal market bill that will allow the UK to trade independently with other countries and unilaterally change the provisions of the Brexit deal from the beginning of next year. The Internal Market Bill will unilaterally rewrite the essential provisions of the Brexit Treaty and reintroduce customs controls at the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland if the UK and the European Union (EU) fail to reach a free trade agreement before the October 15 this year. Some British politicians and the EU consider the bill to be a violation of international law.
Michael Govea, UK Government Chancellery Minister, will meet with EU Representative Maros Sefcovic in London to discuss the situation. It is not ruled out that the EU will retaliate if the UK fails to meet its obligations under the Brexit Treaty.
The UK and the EU are negotiating a free trade agreement, but the EU is enforcing the Brexit agreement, which provides for the free movement of goods between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
In addition, the reintroduction of the border control regime on the Northern Ireland-Ireland border could resume unrest in Northern Ireland, jeopardizing the signing of a free trade agreement between the UK and the US. According to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, if the United Kingdom violates international law, it will not comply with the Brexit commitments and the 1998 agreement. On Good Friday, the United States Congress will not approve the Treaty of Free Trade between the United States and the United Kingdom.
