Comments by "Helen Trope" (@heliotropezzz333) on "Row erupts as US accused of trying to ‘bully’ UK over Northern Ireland" video.
Who is bullying who, since the majority in Ireland are in favour of the protocol which gives them trade advantages over Brexit Britain and the EU? The USA is also a guarantor of The Good Friday Agreement so doesn't want to see that broken.

@TruthHurts-s7g There are only two options on fitting NI into Brexit. 1) Break the Good Friday Agreement by having a trade border in the Island of Ireland. 2) A trade border in the Irish sea. Boris Johnson signed up to the latter, supported by the DUP. The trade advantage is for NI as they can receive and trade goods with the EU without barriers. The disadvantage is with the UK as there is a trade barrier between NI and Great Britain. However Great Britain is not imposing any border controls as yet on goods coming into GB from NI or from Continental Europe. The only country suffering from it is Great Britain (exporters) but having more border controls and bureaucracy was voted for by the UK as a whole (though not Scotland or NI individually) since it was an inevitable consequence of Brexit.
