In a discussion with columnist David Brooks, Mr Biden said the new world order post-Trump has shifted; a view he attributed to Mr Martin. “We’re kind of at a place where the rest of the world is beginning to look to China,” he said. He revealed how his father struggled financially after the Second World War and how that affected his father’s self esteem. "I think the Irish most often use the world ‘dignity’ of any other group of people,” Biden said. Mr Biden made the comments ahead of his first official overseas trip as US President next month when he will visit the UK for the G7 summit in Cornwall and a NATO summit in Brussels.
