Biden in Ireland and Northern Ireland later in April
President Biden is expected to visit Ireland and Northern Ireland in April. The background is the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. So far, nothing is known about a possible meeting with the British king on the sidelines of this visit.
