Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Washington are in Washington, D.C., to try to reassure U.S. politicians about the recent Brexit developments.

Some U.S. politicians are concerned about the UK government’s plans to override parts of the Brexit divorce deal.

Mr. Rabb will meet with U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Who said last week There will be no UK-US trade deal if the Good Friday agreement is scrapped.

No. 10 does not say that the 1998 peace agreement will be valid in all circumstances.

Mr. Rabb met his U.S. counterpart, Mike Pompeo, as well as Democratic Congresswoman M.S. He is scheduled to meet leading politicians, including Pelosi, who is also the speaker of the House of Representatives.

Threats to UK-US trade deals

Washington’s meetings are expected to be high on Brexit’s agenda.

Earlier this week, the Internal Markets Bill Cleared his first parliamentary hurdle.

The proposed law would give the UK government the power to override part of the Brexit withdrawal deal – which Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed with the EU last October.

It now faces further scrutiny in the House of Commons, and also needs to be passed by the House of Lords.

If enacted, the law would violate international law – a possibility that drew an angry response from senior U.S. officials last week.

• What happened to Brexit?

Ms Pelosi said that if the UK violates international law and Brexit rejects the Good Friday Agreement – why – Northern Ireland peace deal – “Congress has no prospect of a US-UK trade agreement”.

On Tuesday, four senior congressmen issued a similar warning, saying the UK-US trade deal would be blocked if the UK failed to maintain the benefits of the Good Friday agreement.

Inside Letter to Mr. Johnson, Four congressmen said plans to empower ministers to override part of Ukraine’s exit agreement – designed to avoid a strict Irish border – could have disastrous consequences for the Good Friday agreement and the extended process of maintaining peace on the island of Ireland. .

The letter added: “We urge you to abandon any and all legally questionable and unjust attempts to hit the protocol of the Northern Ireland Protocol to the withdrawal agreement and that the Brexit negotiations will not undermine decades of progress in bringing peace to Northern Ireland.” .

The letter was signed by members of the Democratic Congress, Elliott Angle, Richard Neal, and Bill Keating, all of the presiding committees of the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as Peter King, a member of the Republican Congress.

In response to the letter, No. 10 said its bill would ensure that the Good Friday Agreement “is valid in all circumstances and that harmful defaults do not inadvertently fall into a role that jeopardizes the vast benefits of the peace process.”

“We are fully committed to the fact that there is no strict border and no border structure between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This is a legal safety net and no sudden East-West verification has been imposed which is in direct opposition to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.”

A spokesman for 10 added: “We will continue to engage with our US partners on a bilateral basis to ensure that our position is understood and that we agree to trade deals with broad support in the US.”

In his talks on Wednesday, Mr Rabe is expected to argue that the government’s plans are prudent and proportionate – and in response to what ministers describe as EU threats to block food imports.

Amid the ongoing transatlantic tensions over Iran, Mr. Rabb will also meet Mr. Pompeo.

The US Secretary of State recently accused the UK and its European allies of “supporting Ayatollah” in blocking further UN sanctions on Iran.
