Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the intervention from US President Joe Biden on the row over Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit position was “significant”. President Biden ordered US officials to issue Boris Johnson with an extraordinary diplomatic rebuke for imperilling the Northern Ireland peace process over Brexit. On his first trip abroad since taking office in January, Biden meets Johnson today in the English seaside resort of Carbis Bay. "President Biden has been crystal clear about his rock-solid belief in the Good Friday Agreement as the foundation for peaceful co-existence in Northern Ireland," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said. The UK government was briefed on June 3 over President Biden’s “growing concern” about Brexit and Northern Ireland.
