On June 13, the media reported an interesting moment at the recent G7 summit. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was accidentally “attacked” on the beach while attending the summit. A seagull flew near the British Prime Minister Johnson, and then dropped the excrement accurately, which happened to fall on Johnson’s shoulder. Johnson panicked, and quickly looked down at his clothes. This detail was forwarded by the international media one after another, and the picture was full of sense. It became a big anecdote at the G7 summit.
After Johnson was hit by seagull guano, in order to make things more interesting, many foreign netizens used P-picture technology to put a lot of white guano on Prime Minister Johnson’s suit, plus his flowing hairstyle. People laugh and cry. Although the P pictures of foreign netizens are not true, they describe the matter very vividly. At the G7 summit, Johnson became the focus of media from all over the world. On the one hand, because the United Kingdom is the host, on the other hand, there were serious differences between the United Kingdom and the European Union over the trade issue of Northern Ireland.
Since the UK has initiated the Brexit procedure in the past few years, the UK and the EU have been negotiating for several years around the specific implementation of Brexit, and most of the controversial issues have been resolved. But on the issue of the Brexit trade agreement in Northern Ireland, serious differences have occurred between the UK and the EU. German Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron held one-on-one talks with Johnson in order to persuade Britain to agree to the EU’s plan, but the conversation between the two parties was not pleasant.
Merkel and Macron suggested that Johnson implement the relevant provisions on Northern Ireland in accordance with the provisions of the Brexit agreement. But Johnson insisted that these clauses violated British principles and harmed Britain’s economic interests. European Union countries such as Germany and France immediately proposed that if the United Kingdom refuses to implement the Brexit trade terms for Northern Ireland, the European Union will consider launching a trade war against the United Kingdom, imposing economic sanctions on London, and imposing high tariffs on British exports to the EU , And canceled part of the economic cooperation agreement reached between the EU and the UK last year.
The EU’s statement obviously has a somewhat threatening taste to the United Kingdom, which is unacceptable to President Johnson, who has always had a strong personality. He said that the EU must make concessions, otherwise, the UK will overturn important parts of the terms of the previous negotiations between the two parties and bring the entire Brexit agreement into a new deadlock. Johnson went to meet with Biden as soon as he had finished fighting with Merkel Macron. During the two talks, Johnson said that it was inappropriate for Britain to take an excessively burdensome approach to trade issues in Northern Ireland after Brexit.
At the same time, British Foreign Secretary Raab also stated that the EU should be more flexible and pragmatic when implementing the Brexit agreement. The implication is that the EU’s ideas are too subjective and have fallen outside the scope of feasible. Obviously, a big problem has arisen between the UK and the EU around the detailed rules of Brexit. If coupled with the previous disputes between Britain and France over island fishing rights, the French side threatened to cut off the electricity supply to the British islands and countered Britain’s deportation of French fishermen. Britain hopes to revitalize the British economy and reshape Britain’s status through Brexit. It now appears that Johnson was not only smashed by bird droppings, but also in great trouble.
