Speaking at the London School of Economics on Monday, Ms Pelosi insisted that a US-UK trade agreement would be a “non-starter” if the Belfast Agreement were undermined. Ms Pelosi has become the most senior American politician to warn against a trade deal between the two countries as Brexit negotiations continue. The House of Representatives Speaker claimed that there would be “no chance whatsoever” of a US-UK trade deal between the two allies if the Irish peace process is harmed in her bold statement.
Speaking at the event, Ms Pelosi said: “If there was to be any weakening of the Good Friday accords that there would be no chance whatsoever – a non-starter – for the US-UK trade agreement.
“The Good Friday accords ended 700 years of conflict.
“It is not just about that geography. This is not a treaty only.
“It is an ideal; it is a value. It is something that is a model to the world, something we all take pride in.”
