He is clearly in a good mood: US President Joe Biden shortly after his arrival in Belfast. However, he did not greet British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (far left in the photo) with such enthusiasm.

Friendly but determined, he pushes him aside and prefers to greet others. A video of US President Joe Biden (80) with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (42) is going around the world.

Biden arrived in the Northern Ireland capital Belfast on Tuesday for a short visit. Rishi Sunak was waiting at the airport and wanted to welcome him, as shown in a video. After a short greeting, however, the US president preferred to greet other people – and elegantly pushed Sunak aside. Biden first saluted and then greeted Jane Hartley (72), the US ambassador to Great Britain.

No functioning government as of February 2022

The reason for his visit is the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which was sealed on April 10, 1998 after intensive negotiations between Dublin, London and Washington. It ended the three-decade conflict in Northern Ireland. The US had played an important mediating role in bringing about the historic peace agreement.

Biden delivered a speech at Ulster University in Belfast on Wednesday, meeting representatives of Northern Ireland’s main political parties. Northern Ireland has had no functioning government as of February 2022.

Biden, who has Irish roots, then travels to the Republic of Ireland. A speech by the US president to the Irish parliament and a meeting with Prime Minister Leo Varadkar (44) are scheduled there. The visit is scheduled to end on Friday. (jmh/AFP)
