UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss could move to scrap parts of the post-Brexit Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP) as soon as next week, Whitehall sources told the BBC, adding that the Foreign Minister's position on the matter is relatively "hard-line". 

The latest reports are in fitting with a recent article published by the times that alleged that Truss is reportedly soon set to ditch the NIP in its entirety after "giving up" on talks with the EU, and after EU officials on Monday said they are open to restarting talks.
