The DUP leader said he would not predict a timeframe for a potential deal but hoped it could happen 'sooner rather than later'
"Significant gaps" remain between the Government and the DUP in talks over post-Brexit trading arrangements, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said.
The party has been involved in negotiations with the Government about the Windsor Framework, which reformed the protocol and is seeking further assurances, by way of legislation, over Northern Ireland's place in the UK internal market. "There is a lot of co-operation, a lot of talking between the parties, that has been going on for weeks in anticipation that at some stage, hopefully soon, we may be in a position to see a government formed."There are still gaps to be closed, there are still issues that need to be resolved in our dialogue with the Government, but we are working each and every week to resolve those issues.
He added: "Every process of dialogue reaches a moment where you have taken the talking as far as you can and decisions are needed.
