Boris Johnson Described the EU as a Threat

Boris Johnson Described the EU as a Threat Boris Johnson described the EU as a threat. British Prime Minister Johnson said, "Theoretically, we cannot leave the power to divide and break our country into the hands of an international organization." Boris Johnson, whose article was published in The Telegraph newspaper, reminded that more than 7 months have passed since Britain left the EU (European Union) on January 31, and that they were conducting negotiations to determine future relations in all areas. Stating that they wanted a comprehensive free trade agreement, Boris Johnson pointed out that the EU is reluctant to present the agreement with Canada to Britain, which has remained a member for more than 40 years. Stating that despite all the disagreements between the two sides, they have made progress with the developments in the last few months, Johnson said that a free trade agreement can be reached at the request of both sides. On the other hand, recalling the UK's attempts to amend the Northern Ireland Protocol of the separation agreement reached with the EU last year, Prime Minister Johnson expressed concern that the EU may intend to use the protocol to keep Northern Ireland permanently within the Customs Union. Pointing out that it was decided to form a Joint Committee to overcome existing disputes, Boris Johnson said:

“We now hear that if we do not agree to the terms of the EU, the EU may resort to an extreme interpretation of the Northern Ireland Protocol to create a full-scale trade border in the Irish Sea. It was said that the EU would not only set tariffs on goods transported from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, but could also stop shipping food from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. I must say that I never believe that the EU will want to use an agreement negotiated in good faith to blockade part of the UK, cut it off from the rest, or threaten to destroy the economy and territorial integrity of the UK. ''

In addition, Johnson said, "Theoretically, we cannot leave the power to divide and dismember our country into the hands of an international organization." Johnson noted that they had to protect the UK from this disaster, so they created a legal safety net with the UK Internal Market Act to clarify the situation and address inconsistencies.
