Jeffrey Donaldson has urged the EU to put Northern Ireland’s interests first “rather than acting out of selfish interest”.

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader was speaking after No 10 said “limited” progress had been made in talks between UK Brexit minister David Frost and European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic in Brussels on Friday.
