TL;DR Summary

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in Northern Ireland has reached a deal with the UK government to end its two-year boycott and resume power-sharing, potentially seeing Sinn Féin nominate the first minister for the first time. The hiatus was due to the DUP's protest against post-Brexit trade rules, which they claimed created a trade barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. The deal includes measures to safeguard Northern Ireland's place in the UK, remove checks for goods, and ensure unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the UK. The return of power-sharing has been welcomed by various political figures, including the US Ambassador to Ireland.
