Why Ireland is so important to US President Joe Biden
There is almost nothing that the polarised politicians in Washington can agree on these days. Bipartisan co-operation is extremely hard to find.
American politicians are rightly proud of the role the US played in securing the peace. The tireless work of Senator George Mitchell as well as the intense engagement of President Bill Clinton were essential. In Belfast, President Biden will talk about how the US can help to support "Northern Ireland's vast economic potential".
He loves to quote Irish poets and uses the experience of Irish citizens living under British rule as a way to express empathy with persecuted minorities around the world. Edward Blewitt was an engineer and brickmaker who left the west coast town of Ballina, Mayo, in 1850. He decided to head to Scranton in Pennsylvania as the devastating Irish potato famine was causing widespread starvation.
