Pelosi: Brexit Must Not Imperil Irish Peace Accord

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: "I'll say it again, we must ensure that nothing happens in the Brexit discussions that imperils the Good Friday Accord including but not limited to the seamless border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland. (Applause) If the Brexit deal undermines the Good Friday Accord there would be no chance of a U.S.-U.K. trade agreement. We treasure the Good Friday Accord not only because of what it has meant for Northern Ireland and for Ireland -- that would be reason enough. We treasure the Good Friday Accord because it is not just a treaty, it is an ethic. It is a value. It is an article of faith for us. It is a beacon to the world.”
