WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden will host Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar on Friday (Mar 17) for a meeting where they will express support for the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement and the recent deal between Britain and the European Union on post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland, the White House said.
The leaders will meet in the White House for a St Patrick's Day celebration and will also discuss support for Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last month struck a deal with the European Union on post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland, saying it would pave the way for a new chapter in London's relationship with the bloc.
