Poots says NI protocol causing "demonstrable harm" to the peace process.
The new DUP leader has accused the EU of using Northern Ireland as a plaything over Brexit.
Edwin Poots says its attitude over the protocol, which creates checks on goods between the North and Britain, is causing "demonstrable harm" to the peace process.
