Biden visits Northern Ireland to promote peace and unity

President Joe Biden marked the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement in Belfast, calling for the parties in Northern Ireland to return to the power-sharing government that was a central pillar of the accord. While tensions persist, Biden's speech was optimistic, focusing on the dividends of peace and economic opportunity. He also appointed a special envoy to Northern Ireland to cultivate foreign investment in the territory. Biden's visit to Northern Ireland was brief, with his second leg of the trip being more personal as he searches for his family roots in County Louth.
