Britain could have 'a say' in trade deals if it joins customs union after Brexit, Irish prime minister says

Britain should have “a say” in any future customs union it joined with the European Union after Brexit, Ireland’s prime minister has said. Leo Varadkar’s intervention comes amid talks between Labour and the government over whether the UK should have such a trade arrangement after Brexit. Mr Varadkar said the UK would not be a “silent partner” in a customs union and that it was in the interests of both the EU and UK to sign a deal.
