Biden Prepares for Major Brexit Intervention, Appoints Special Envoy for UK

The Biden administration is believed to be seeking a larger role in the issue, which has been a major source of contention since the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU in 2016.

As the US prepares to appoint a Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, Joe Biden is preparing a major Brexit intervention.

This comes as the US is said to be looking for a larger role in the issue, which has been a major source of contention since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016. Mick Mulvaney left the position at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency in January 2021, leaving the position vacant.

According to Bloomberg, the Biden administration is close to deciding on Mr Mulvaney’s replacement.

According to one source, the US government has told the UK and EU that it is eager to help broker a deal over the dreaded Northern Ireland Protocol.

Mr. Biden has consistently backed the EU’s stance in the dispute, warning the UK against attempts to undermine the legislation.

The US President intervened a fortnight ago and urged Mr Sunak to resolve the post-Brexit row in Northern Ireland, as Downing Street admitted Mr Biden raised “concerns” about the political impasse with the EU when the political leaders met in Indonesia for the G20 summit.
