U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Liz Truss met in person for the first time on Wednesday and said they want to ensure the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland is protected.
Biden and Truss, meeting only days after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, sat down for discussions that also covered Ukraine on the fringes of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Biden has been insistent that Britain do nothing that could endanger a quarter century of peace in Northern Ireland. The official said Truss had sounded a "constructive tone" about her discussions with the European Union and Ireland "and now we have to see where things go."
