DUBLIN (Reuters) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said her contacts with new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on their post-Brexit trade row over Northern Ireland have been encouraging and a workable solution could be within reach.
"I think if both sides are sensitive to this careful balance, a workable solution is within reach. I believe we have a duty to find it and my contacts with Prime Minister Sunak are encouraging and I trust we can find a way," she told Ireland's parliament.
