Ireland's Legal Action Against UK Over Troubles Amnesty Law

Joe Biden has shown his support for Ireland in its legal challenge against Britain over a new law granting immunity to soldiers during the Troubles. The US president, who has a strong affinity for his Irish roots, offered his backing to Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar during a meeting in September. Biden's intervention follows his warning to the UK that it could forget about a US-UK trade deal if it violated the Northern Ireland Protocol Brexit treaty. His outspoken love for Ireland has led to accusations from some unionists in Northern Ireland that he harbors dreams of a united Ireland.
