Taoiseach aims for ‘minimum to no disruption’ in trade

Brexit negotiations dominated Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s meeting with UK prime minister Theresa May with both agreeing that a “seamless and frictionless” border is needed.

Also on the agenda was the ongoing power-sharing talks in Northern Ireland as Mr Varadkar made his first foreign trip to Downing St since becoming Taoiseach.

Mr Varadkar said he had pushed for marriage equality during his recent meeting with DUP leader Arlene Foster and would continue to raise the issue with her.
