The leader of the DUP said that she hoped that a solution to the problem of the Irish border with Brexit would be "close" because she doubled her red limits at a meeting with the British secretary at Brexit Friday.
Arlene Foster met Dominic Raab on Friday in Northern Ireland to discuss her party's concerns about the proposals tabled so far.

The DUP, on which Theresa May supports a majority in the House of Commons, said that he would not accept Northern Ireland being dealt with.
Red lines of the minor party mean that the British government was effectively forced to negotiate with the EU on one side and with his allies in Parliament to Parliament

We are currently seeking solutions as the negotiations conclude, with some suggesting that the entire United Kingdom could remain temporarily in a customs union with the United States. EU so d & Eliminate most checks until another solution is found.
Some conservative eurosceptics worry, however. that such a plan could bind the UK indefinitely to a customs union with the EU, which they do not want, while the DUP worries about remaining controls that would not not eliminated by a customs union – regulatory controls.
The Independent launched its #FinalSay campaign to demand that voters have a say in the final Brexit deal.
