States of Mind: Biden's Northern Ireland scorecard

As 2024 comes to a close, so does Joe Biden’s time in office as president of the United States.

Over the coming weeks and months, deep dives will be taken into his legacy - from his decisions surrounding the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan to his support of Israel’s war in Gaza.

Part of Joe Biden’s time in office, however, was spent championing and standing by the Good Friday Agreement during a politically sensitive tine in Northern Ireland.

He reportedly once said that he visited in 2023 to ensure that the "Brits didn’t screw around".

Did his blunt approach to Northern Ireland make a difference?

Is it an unsung victory on his presidential scorecard?

Listen above to the latest in our States of Mind podcast series, where hosts Jackie Fox and Sean Whelan are joined by Professor Deirdre Heenan from Ulster University to discuss all of this and more.
