As a consequence of the Covid19 pandemic, this year’s programme of events to mark St. Patrick’s Day took place online.
On 17 March, I had meetings with President Biden, Vice President Harris, Speaker Pelosi, and with members of the Friends of Ireland caucus.
My discussions with President Biden and Vice President Harris covered a broad range of issues including: Covid-19; the Ireland-US bilateral relationship; Northern Ireland; Brexit; immigration reform; the importance of multilateral engagement, including the Paris Climate Accord, the WHO, and the UN Human Rights Council; and the relationship between the USA and the EU.
