Biden Commemorates Good Friday Agreement and Irish Heritage in Belfast
TL;DR
President Biden will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland before spending most of his time in the Republic of Ireland learning about his Irish heritage. His advisers have tried to avoid any thorny questions surrounding politics in Northern Ireland, where the legislature has been deadlocked. Biden will meet with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of Britain and then give a speech at Ulster University to recognize the peace treaty that ended decades of bloody sectarian violence between Northern Irish factions.
