President Biden is “very excited” about his upcoming visit to Northern Ireland despite recent violence in the region, including the firebombing of a police vehicle, a White House spokesman said Monday.
“The President is traveling to the United Kingdom and Ireland this week. And as I think you all also know, he’s very excited for this trip and has been now for quite some time,” the White House National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications John KirbyWhen asked by a reporter about warnings of violence in the region ahead of Biden’s trip, including threats of terrorism, Kirby dismissed concerns for the president’s safety.
On Monday, police in Northern Ireland’s border city of Derry came under attack by a group of people in paramilitary uniforms who marched through the streets to commemorate the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising – an armed insurrection conducted by Irish nationalists in protest of British rule. The rioters hurled several Molotov cocktails and other objects at a police vehicle monitoring the group, according to authorities.
