Hunter Biden joins President Biden for official visit to Ireland
The president boarded Air Force One alongside his son and sister Valerie Biden Owens as the group set off for Belfast, where they will be greeted by U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak later Tuesday.
Mr. Biden said his top priority for this week’s trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland is to “keep the peace” and “make sure the Irish accords and the Windsor agreement stay in place.” He will then travel to Dublin to hold separate meetings on Thursday with Irish President Michael Higgins and Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
“The president is very much looking forward to that trip and to celebrating the deep historic ties that our two countries and our two people continue to share,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said. Last month, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee uncovered bank records revealing suspicious payments totaling roughly $1 million to members of the Biden family after Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese energy company.
The reason for the payments, doled out just two months after Mr. Biden ended his term as vice president, remains a mystery.
