The chances of problems with the Northern Ireland Protocol being resolved before Stormont Assembly elections in May are "quite small", DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has said.
Sir Jeffrey said there was "very little progress" in ongoing discussions between the UK Government and the EU.
European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss met in London on Friday as part of their attempt to break the deadlock over the protocol and committed to intensive talks over coming days.
