TL;DR Summary

President Biden visits Belfast to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which ended three decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. Despite the peace, the region remains divided, with unionists wary of Biden's strong Irish identity. The visit is not part of the official celebration of the deal, and many locals are in no mood to celebrate. Biden's Irish heritage is a deep part of his personal history, and he will also visit the Republic of Ireland during his three-day tour. The president's goal is to ensure the Irish accords and the Windsor agreement stay in place to keep the peace.
