AR 66 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to oppose trade agreements with United Kingdom unless Good Friday Agreement and other Irish peace elements are preserved.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 66 urges Congress to oppose any U.S.-United Kingdom trade agreement unless the Good Friday Agreement and other Irish peace process elements are preserved. The resolution states that the U.S. should link trade deal approval to maintaining the 1998 peace agreement, which established power-sharing in Northern Ireland and prevented a hard border with Ireland. It specifically references concerns that the UK's efforts to reinterpret Brexit-related Northern Ireland Protocol terms could undermine the peace agreement. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally requests Congress take this position on future trade negotiations.
