A President-elect Biden could help the EU to clinch a better Brexit deal with Britain, Irish Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has told his party’s lawmakers.
Two lawmakers from Varadkar’s Fine Gael have said the deputy prime minister expressed hopes of a Biden victory at a parliamentary meeting of the party’s lawmakers Wednesday night.
They said Varadkar described Biden as “a genuine friend to Ireland,” citing his Irish roots and keen interest in defending the U.S.-brokered 1998 Good Friday peace accord for Northern Ireland. They said Varadkar described President Donald Trump’s interest in Ireland as confined primarily to the fortunes of his Doonbeg golf resort on Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
