, who often boasts of his Irish heritage and Catholic faith, will arrive in Belfast on Air Force One and will be greeted by UK prime minister Rishi Sunak. The two leaders are expected to meet again on Wednesday morning before Biden delivers a speech marking the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
On Monday, Sunak praised the “bravery, perseverance and political imagination” that led to the peace deal and called on politicians in the region to “get on with the business of governance”. Biden earlier this year praised the Windsor framework as an “essential step to ensuring that the hard-earned peace and progress” of the Good Friday Agreement was “preserved and strengthened”.
The US president is expected to spend less than 24 hours in Northern Ireland. After delivering his speech in Belfast on Wednesday, he is scheduled to head south of the border, to Dublin, where over the course of several days he will hold talks with Ireland’s president Michael D Higgins and taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
