Ahead of Biden visit, Sunak says more work needed to restore Northern Ireland government

Ahead of U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Northern Ireland on Tuesday, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called on Stormont leaders to “get on” with governance as more work needs to be done to restore the power-sharing government central to the Good Friday agreement.

Biden will attend events marking the 25th anniversary of the peace deal, signed on April 10, 1998, which ended political conflict that killed more than 3.5K people over three decades. The visit signifies the role the U.S. played in brokering the deal.
