Biden on Brexit: pro-EU and pro-IrishDemocratic presidential nominee Joe Biden voiced his support for the Good Friday AgreementWASHINGTON - Joe Biden, with his defense of the Northern Ireland peace accord, has issued a warning to Britain over Brexit and support for an EU bruised by Donald Trump while making it clear he would preside over the Atlantic alliance. "We can't allow the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of Brexit," the Democratic presidential nominee tweeted. Nile Gardiner, a fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, accused Biden of "recycling the anti-British talking points of the European Commission. "Brexit will not undermine the Good Friday Agreement," said Gardiner, a former aide to Britain's ex-prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Johnson, by pursuing his current course on Brexit, will "dramatically weaken the case for this approach," Wright said.
