Leaders from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are expected to sign a joint declaration on Monday. The deal will seek the right to hold independence referendums. The leaders will meet at a summit in Cardiff. The move comes after US President Donald Trump said he would “love” to see a united Ireland. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham recently said he could allow another Scottish referendum if there was a “clear consensus”. However, he later said a second vote was “off-limits”. Scottish leader John Swinney said the current situation was not sustainable. Pro-independence parties now lead all three UK devolved nations.
