LONDON, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Britain is still seeking a negotiated solution with the European Union to resolve a stand-off over the Northern Ireland protocol, a part of the Brexit divorce deal that Britain has attempted to override, Prime Minister Liz Truss said.

“What I want to do is find a way forward and my preference is a negotiated solution with the EU,” Truss told CNN in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
