'I want to see progress made and I want to see a solution that works for Northern Ireland'
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said his party will be "formulating further proposals" for the UK government to address remaining concerns over the Windsor Framework deal.
But the DUP, which has been blocking Stormont power-sharing in protest against the protocol, has continued to raise concerns about the new arrangements. Asked for a timeframe for when these proposals would be put to the government, Sir Jeffrey responded: "Well, we will continue to engage with the government over the weeks ahead.
Earlier, the DUP leader welcomed the president's visit to Northern Ireland but said it had not altered the "political dynamic". He said: "The United States is our strongest ally, and it's important as unionists that we continue to support that strong relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States."
