Leo Varadkar rules out Ireland-Britain-EU Brexit talks

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has strongly rejected British prime minister Theresa May’s suggestion that the border between the US and Canada was one solution to the Irish border issue after Brexit.

Ms May made the comment in the House of Commons after making a statement on a key Brexit speech she delivered last Friday.

“I visited the US-Canada border back in August,” he said. “I saw a hard border, with physical infrastructure, with customs posts, people in uniforms with arms and dogs. That is definitely not a solution which we could entertain.”
