Britain offers two plans for frictionless border

Britain has come up with two ways to secure a frictionless border after Brexit, according to the Northern Ireland secretary.

James Brokenshire said a new customs partnership could be established or a “highly streamlined approach” to customs could be taken post-Brexit.

“We set out two proposals in relation to how we would deal with the issue of tariffs, how we would deal with those sorts of elements in relation to customs, whether that be a new customs partnership where we would effectively apply a similar or the same tariff that the EU currently applies to goods coming into the EU, or a highly streamlined approach with effectively exemptions that would apply for small business,” Mr Brokenshire told Sky News.
