TL;DR Summary

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar aims to restore power-sharing government in Northern Ireland within the next few months, with hopes to break the deadlock with the British government and the five parties in Northern Ireland. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has boycotted the devolved assembly for a year in protest at post-Brexit trade rules, but Varadkar plans to intensify efforts with British counterpart Rishi Sunak to address their concerns. The suspension of the assembly casts a shadow over the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which U.S. President Joe Biden will mark during his visit to Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
