Joe Biden ‘a breath of fresh air’, says Boris Johnson as pair push Brexit tensions to background


Jun 11 - Boris Johnson praised Joe Biden’s administration as a “breath of fresh air” on Thursday as the pair put on a display of unity despite Brexit tensions in their first face-to-face meeting.

speculation the US president was preparing to dress down his counterpart over the Northern Ireland Protocol, the leaders traded public compliments rather than veiled threats.

Their meeting in Cornwall, where the G7 summit of world leaders formally begins on Friday, lasted an hour and 20 minutes – longer than planned, according to Downing Street.

Mr Biden called their talks “very productive” and spoke of a “good first full day” in the UK, while Mr Johnson called their discussions “great” and “fantastic”.

Beforehand the pair posed with touched elbows and thumbs up alongside their wives, Jill Biden and Carrie Johnson, who later strolled on the beach with the Johnsons’ son, Wilfred.

EU capitals have been banking on Mr Biden to weigh in on their side over the dispute about how to keep trade flowing on the island of Ireland without physical checks at the land border.

Lord Frost, the UK government minister leading on Brexit, was given a dressing down by the US Embassy last week and urged to tone down his rhetoric on the Northern Ireland Protocol.


But Mr Biden declined to reprimand Mr Johnson in public on Thursday nor, according to Number 10 sources, in private, with their talks said to have been good natured.

Instead the pair signed a detailed agreement, a new version of the 1941 Atlantic Charter which shaped the post-Second World War globe, which listed dozens of areas the UK-US pledged to cooperate on.

Speaking after the talks in Cornwall’s Carbis Bay, Mr Johnson said: “The talks were great. They went on for a long time.

“We covered a huge range of subjects and it’s wonderful to listen to the Biden administration and to Joe Biden because there’s so much that they want to do together with us from security and Nato to climate change. It’s fantastic, it’s a breath of fresh air”...     more
