Trilateral meeting with UK PM, German Chancellor, French President

Описание: (23 Sep 2019) British Prime Minister Boris Johnson held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the sidelines of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York on Monday.
Johnson is seeking to persuade a skeptical European Union (EU) to give Britain a new divorce deal before the UK is due to leave the bloc on October 31st.
But many leaders of the 28-nation bloc mistrust Johnson, a brash Brexit champion who played a big role in persuading British voters in 2016 to opt to leave the EU.
And they say Britain has not come up with proposals for maintaining an open border between EU member Ireland and the UK's Northern Ireland - the key sticking point in the dispute.
An open border underpins both the local economy and the peace process that ended years of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
