Biden in Belfast will see peace marred by political crisis

BELFAST, Northern Ireland - American grit was essential to getting Northern Ireland's warring sides to make peace 25 years ago with the Good Friday Agreement.

President Joe Biden arrived in Belfast Tuesday evening to celebrate that anniversary, but few expect him to resolve a new political crisis that has rattled the peace deal and put Northern Ireland's government on ice.

Biden was greeted at Belfast International Airport by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and will hold talks with the British leader and representatives of Northern Ireland's fractious political parties on a trip to Northern Ireland whose main goal, the president said as he boarded Air Force One, is to ''keep the peace.''
