Watch Live: Biden to tout economic growth in Northern Ireland speech
CBSN
President Joe Biden is in Northern Ireland on Wednesday to help mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which brought peace to this part of the United Kingdom, as a new political crisis tests the strength of that peace.
On his first presidential visit to Northern Ireland, Biden was stressing that American investment can help fuel economic growth – especially if the fractious politicians in Belfast resolve a new political crisis that has rattled the Good Friday peace deal and put Northern Ireland's government on pause.
In a speech at Ulster University's new campus in downtown Belfast, Biden will focus on "Northern Ireland's vast economic potential," said Amanda Sloat, the Democratic president's top adviser on European affairs.
