TL;DR

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) will vote against Rishi Sunak's deal on trade rules in Northern Ireland, citing "ongoing concerns." The first parliamentary vote on the Windsor Framework deal is set for Wednesday. The DUP's move is a blow to U.K. government efforts to restore power sharing in the region. The party walked out of the region's power-sharing institutions last year in protest at the protocol, which kept Northern Ireland bound to EU standards on goods.
