From ‘paying homage to his own Irish ancestry’ to sticking to a ‘keep the peace’ message
The New York Times carried the story with the headline: “Biden to Celebrate Diplomacy, and His Own Irish Roots, in Belfast”. It reported that Mr Biden was there to mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland “before paying homage to his own Irish ancestry”.
The president would “explore his own roots and celebrate America’s deep connection with the Irish people” during “three days of presidential ancestry” after a “brief stop to Belfast”, the article read. “Once he leaves Belfast on Wednesday afternoon, Mr Biden will spend far less time on policy, though he will address the Irish parliament and host discussions with the country’s president and prime minister”, the article said.
The New York Times reported that White House officials “made little effort to describe Mr Biden’s trip as a policy one. It is personal for the president, they said, and most of his time will be spent in the countryside”.
“The president’s decision to bring Hunter to his ancestral country was a staunch signal to Republicans conducting the investigations, though it left some scratching their heads on why he was going on a diplomatic trip,” Fox reporters wrote.
