Boris Johnson’s supporters turned on Joe Biden after the Democratic presidential nominee ruled out any U.K.-U.S. trade deal if the prime minister’s effort to rewrite the Brexit withdrawal agreement threatens peace in Ireland.
“We don’t need lectures on Northern Ireland peace deals from Mr Biden,” Former Conservative Party Leader Iain Duncan Smith said in an interview. “If I were him, I would worry more about the need for a peace deal in the USA to stop the killing and rioting before lecturing other sovereign nations.”
