Britain must come up with a solution for the Irish border after Brexit or there will be no divorce deal or transition period, EU President Donald Tusk warned today.
Finding a way to avoid border checks between EU member Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the bloc is proving one of the thorniest issues in the negotiations.
Former Polish premier Tusk said he wanted to "use the positive momentum" in recent negotiations to finally settle issues including Ireland.
"The UK's decision on Brexit has caused the problem, and the UK will have to help solve it," Tusk told the European Parliament in a report on a summit of EU leaders last month.
"Without a solution, there will be no withdrawal agreement and no transition."
