Sir Jeffrey Donaldson's comments came at the annual Ireland Funds dinner in Washington, attended by powerful US figures like Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, who used his speech to encourage the DUP to endorse the Windsor Framework, the new UK-EU post-Brexit deal announced last month.
Leo Varadkar has a reputation for occasionally getting in hot water with his forthright answers. But during this interview with Sky News, the Irish leader was restrained and disciplined when repeatedly questioned about what he wanted the DUP to do about the Windsor Framework.
But Mr Varadkar's steadfast refusal to opine strongly reflects a belief in Dublin that Sir Jeffery needs time and space to embrace the deal. For now, the DUP's public stance is that - just like the protocol - real changes are needed to the text of the Windsor Framework. So as the St Patrick's week events continue in the American capital, expect delicate language from the Irish government as the focus remains on the DUP. Whether Joe Biden will be as diplomatic on Friday is another matter.
