The British government said Monday it was taking steps to "clarify" how Northern Ireland's trade will be handled after Brexit, but insisted it remained committed to its EU withdrawal agreement and the province's peace process. Britain cannot allow the peace process or its internal market "to inadvertently be compromised by unintended consequences" of the Brexit protocol relating to Northern Ireland, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's official spokesman said. "So we are taking limited and reasonable steps to clarify specific elements of the Northern Ireland Protocol in domestic law to remove any ambiguity and to ensure the government is always able to deliver on its commitments to the people of Northern Ireland," he said. jit/phz/lc
