A new Brexit deal is likely to be announced soon after the UK loosened its tough resistance to European judges ruling on issues in Northern Ireland.
It is reported that an agreement to end the row over the Northern Ireland Protocol is set to be revealed within two weeks.
It is believed that the announcement regarding the protocol will be narrowed down by the next week.
The broad shape of the deal has now become clear, according to two sources from the European Union and two in the UK, with final sign-off still to come from Number 10, reported The Telegraph.
“The Northern Ireland Protocol was struck between the UK and the EU to govern the terms of trade in the province after Brexit.
To keep the land border between Northern Ireland and Ireland open, the deal effectively created a customs border for goods travelling from the mainland UK into the province.
However, veteran backbencher Sir John Redwood told the Daily Express that taking a softer stance is “deeply damaging” to the UK’s negotiating position.
There is concern that the summit could send the wrong message to the EU, which is currently in talks with the UK in an attempt to resolve issues with the hated Northern Ireland protocol.
