Joe Biden says he visited the island of Ireland last month to make sure the “Brits didn’t screw around”.
The US president – who is vocal about his Irish ancestry – made the comments at an event for the Democratic Party in New York on Wednesday.
In remarks published later on the White House website, Mr Biden said: “I got to go back to Ireland for the Irish Accords… to make sure the Brits didn’t screw around and Northern Ireland didn’t walk away from their commitments.”
