European Commission's President is working out trade issues with Great Britain

On the Amanpour Program over PBS today, Ms. Ursula von der Leyen reported she is working through the problems of Brexit pertaining to Ireland and Northern Ireland trade with GB representatives.

She expressed optimism that these problems can be resolved, since both sides are in earnest negotiation.  

As I and others who supported Brexit pointed out, England has an important role in defending democracy in this day and age of autocracy in governments around the world.  In particular, it has sponsored the Commonwealth of  Nations to enunciate the values of democracy, that have benefitted a country's citizenry by giving them a voice in the conduct of its government through their exercise in the vote and their expression of viewpoints and philosophies in the marketplace.

My opinion.
