Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and US President Joe Biden held one-on-one talks in Belfast this morning to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. The discussion revolved around Northern Ireland's political situation and the war in Ukraine. However, hopes for a trade deal between the UK and US dwindled as Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) accused Mr. Sunak of being pro-Republican, anti-Unionist, and anti-British.

During their meeting at a hotel in Belfast, both leaders emphasized on finding ways to restore stability within Northern Ireland's government. Despite these efforts, tensions remain high with DUP slamming President Biden as "extremely partisan" while accusing him of being "anti-British."

Samuel Dodds MP, DUP Brexit spokesman expressed his concerns about President Biden's involvement in Northern Ireland's affairs: “Mr. Biden has to take a share of responsibility for creating political instability here by promoting an extremely partisan stance."

US officials have confirmed that there will be no discussions on reviving any trade package during this visit; instead focusing primarily on Northern Ireland’s issues and Ukraine conflict.

Following their private conversation over tea at a hotel in Belfast city center, Mr. Biden is set to deliver a speech later today at Ulster University before heading over the border into Republic territory without holding formal group meetings with leaders from other major parties.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak mentioned that they are eager to work together for peace: "We hope our ongoing collaboration can contribute positively towards enduring peace and prosperity throughout Northern Ireland."

As part of his trip itinerary where security measures are heightened significantly due to more than 300 officers drafted from across UK regions ensuring safety during presidential visits; Joe Biden is scheduled meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson again Wednesday for bilateral meeting focused solely upon domestic concerns between their respective countries.

President Biden's visit will conclude with a trip to County Mayo, where he plans to reconnect with distant relatives, highlighting his Irish roots and commitment towards fostering strong relationships between the United States and Ireland.
