President Biden is set to host Ireland’s prime minister after the pandemic scuttled the longstanding St. Patrick’s Day meetup two years in a row.

“Ireland and the United States are forever bound together by our people and our passion. Everything between us runs deep,” Biden said in his proclamation.
