London and Washington are viewing the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement next year as a crucial date to ensure power sharing in Northern Ireland is up and running once again.
UK officials are pencilling in a potential state visit for the US President as he is expected to visit the British Isles to mark the signing of the peace agreement in April next year.
A government source said Downing St and the White House see the anniversary of the peace agreement as “a vital moment” but the “big obstacle” to their plans was the lack of an Executive. “It’s an important place in the electoral cycle, for the Biden administration as well, into his second term. So that’s the kind of primary focus which is an absolutely shared focus.”
Mr Blair’s involvement is seen as a crucial player given his role in bringing about the peace deal, which was signed in 1998.
