UK's May to Pressure EU on Brexit Deal Changes With Regard to Backstop - Reports
The backstop solution, which aims to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, has been a source of concern for many UK lawmakers, as it may lead to customs checks within the United Kingdom.
