President Joe Biden has launched a three-day tour of political and personal landmarks in Northern Ireland, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Despite his deep Irish ancestry being an essential part of his personal history, he does not appear to view the agreement as a significant aspect of the political past.
Biden will begin his visit in Belfast by meeting British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The White House and British officials are downplaying this encounter as more informal catch-up than an official summit.
During his trip, President Biden will also travel to the Republic of Ireland for a stop in County Louth where he is scheduled to visit Carlingford Lough – an ancestral Irish village connected to the Finnegans. Located just six miles from the Northern Ireland border on Cooley Peninsula, Carlingford provides picturesque scenery and opportunities for relaxation with locals. Popular attractions include King John's Castle at the edge of town and Tain Way walking trail that threads through stunning hinterlands.
In addition to visiting these historical sites, President Joe Biden will address students at Ulster University in Belfast on Wednesday marking 25 years since signing the Good Friday Agreement. He intends to concentrate on economic aspects during his speech while stressing America's readiness to support Northern Ireland's vast economic potential.
