U.S. President Joe Biden will fly into Northern Ireland on Tuesday for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement.

But peace has come under strain following Britain's exit from the European Union and other political crises have overshadowed this week's commemorations. "But most importantly, it is based on compromise in Northern Ireland itself.
