- The leaders of Germany and the UK held a telephone conversation on Wednesday evening, a day after the new British prime minister took up her position.
- The two leaders also discussed the Northern Ireland Protocol, an issue that proved to be a thorn in the side of Truss’s predecessor Boris Johnson — as well as his predecessor before him, Theresa May — and has caused heightened tensions between the EU and the post-Brexit UK.
- Truss reportedly “stressed the importance of finding a solution to the fundamental problems with the text of the Protocol as it stands,” according to the UK government’s statement.
