The recent disputes between Britain and Europe on trade issues in the Northern Ireland region have also continued to this G7 summit. According to British media reports, on the 13th local time, French President Macron’s remarks about Northern Ireland “angered” British Prime Minister Johnson.

After the UK “Brexit”, the border between Northern Ireland and the EU country Ireland has also become the land border between the UK and the EU. However, in order to maintain the stability of the situation in Northern Ireland and prevent the recurrence of conflicts that have lasted for decades, the “Northern Ireland Protocol” was specially formulated in the British “Brexit” agreement, stipulating that Northern Ireland and Ireland will continue to maintain the “soft” without physical customs Border”-This requires many goods from other parts of the UK to be inspected when entering Northern Ireland and must comply with EU regulations.

  “Annoyed” Johnson

According to British media reports, on the 13th, Johnson and Macron talked about the “sausage war” issue. Johnson asked Macron, “If the sausages of Toulouse, France cannot be sold in Paris, how do you feel?” Macron replied, “This is not an appropriate metaphor, because Toulouse and Paris are located in the same territory, while Northern Ireland and Great Britain are separated by the sea.”

Johnson is said to be extremely angry about this, accusing Macron of implying that “Northern Ireland is not part of British territory.” In the subsequent press conference, Johnson vowed to “defend the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom.”

British Foreign Secretary Raab also told the media on the 13th that many people in the European Union “seem to treat Northern Ireland as an “independent country”” and this attitude is “wrong and harmful.”
