View answerOn 23 May, I welcomed a delegation from the US House of Representatives, led by Congressman Richard E. Neal, for a meeting at Government Buildings. The bipartisan delegation comprised nine members of Congress. The majority of the delegation sit on the House Ways and Means Committee, including Chairman Neal, and ranking minority member Kevin Brady.
Our meeting in Government Buildings was an opportunity for a broad-ranging discussion covering Northern Ireland and Brexit, international support for Ukraine, and Ireland-US bilateral relations.
I welcome the continued, unequivocal support of the US Administration and Congress, in particular for the Good Friday Agreement, including in the context of the impacts of Brexit in Northern Ireland.
