Oh, the EU very much wants a hard border. I’ve heard several of them mention it. We’re not gonna agree about this one.

That's false - I don't know who you overheard but the EU wants a soft border - German foreign minister Heiko Maas said "some people call us stubborn, but the truth is avoiding a hard border in Ireland is a fundamental concern for the EU, a union that more than anything else serves one purpose – to build and maintain peace in Europe. the Good Friday agreement that ended decades of bloodshed in Northern Ireland was living proof of this principle”.

“During the Brexit negotiations, all 27 member states agreed on a common position and stood by it. This unity includes full solidarity with Ireland. We insisted, and still do: a hard border dividing the Irish island is unacceptable."
