She said his visit to Belfast 'won't put any pressure' on the DUP to restore Stormont because he is regarded as 'simply pro-republican and pro-nationalist'
Former DUP leader Arlene Foster has slammed Joe Biden, claiming the US president "hates the United Kingdom".
The former First Minister described Mr Biden as "the most partisan president there has ever been when dealing with Northern Ireland".She said: "The list goes on and on in relation to his dismissal of the British people living here in Northern Ireland." Speaking to GB News, she added: "He revelled in the fact that he told a story about his mother refusing to sleep in a bed because the late Majesty the Queen had slept in a bed, so it goes on and on."And I just think that the fact that he's coming here won't put any pressure on the Democratic Unionist Party at all, quite the reverse actually, because he's seen by so many people as simply pro-republican and pro-nationalist.
The US president's visit has been timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which largely brought an end to the Troubles.
