After months of negotiations, the UK and EU agreed a new withdrawal deal on Thursday, according to statement from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.🇪🇺🤝🇬🇧 Where there is a will, there is a #deal - we have one! It’s a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK and it is testament to our commitment to find solutions. I recommend that #EUCO endorses this deal. pic.twitter.com/7AfKyCZ6k9— Jean-Claude Juncker (@JunckerEU) October 17, 2019

We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment #GetBrexitDone #TakeBackControl— Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) October 17, 2019
A major sticking point to the plan had been the question of the Irish border.

According to Juncker, the withdrawal agreement "focused on the protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland and sought to identify a mutually satisfactory solution to address the specific circumstances on the island of Ireland."
The next challenge for Johnson will be getting approval in the British Parliament (particularly from Northern Ireland's Democratic Union Party).
DUP support is crucial in Johnson getting majority support. But shortly after the withdrawal deal was announced, the DUP said their earlier position -- of rejecting the fresh deal -- was unchanged.
Johnson said in a tweet that the new deal -- which replaces the one struck by his predecessor Theresa May -- "takes back control."
He urged Parliament to "get Brexit done on Saturday" when lawmakers are next due to meet.
If Johnson can't get parliamentary support for his plan by Saturday, he must write to the EU requesting a Brexit extension until January 31, 2020.
There are now only 14 days left until Britain exits the EU on October 31.
