Taoiseach Simon Harris during a bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday. to the White House to mark 100 years of Irish-American diplomatic relations underlines Ireland’s ongoing access at the highest level in Washington. Based historically on the Irish diaspora, the flood of American investment into Ireland in recent years has made the relationship economically important for both sides.

And this could pose significant threats to Ireland and lead to an unpredictable turn in the Irish-American relationship.
