The Biden administration will not take sides in a British-European Union rift over the movement of goods to Northern Ireland, a senior United States official has said ahead of a meeting between President Joe Biden and Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin. Biden and Martin are set to meet virtually on Wednesday, the Christian holiday of St Patrick’s Day, as disputes between the United Kingdom and the European Union simmer over the implementation of Brexit agreements on Northern Ireland. Among the sticking points is the Northern Ireland Protocol, which called for keeping the land border between the Republic of Ireland, which is part of the EU, and Northern Ireland – a British province under a distinct legal jurisdiction – open.
