President Joe Biden is set to host Ireland's prime minister on Friday, after the COVID-19 pandemic scuttled the longstanding St. Patrick's Day meetup two years in a row.
Leo Varadkar, known as the taoiseach, and his partner, Matthew Barrett, will attend a breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. Then they will head to the U.S. Capitol for a lunch with congressional leaders and Biden before the two leaders convene.
The White House said the agreement, known as the Windsor Framework, is an important step in maintaining the peace accord. Biden will also host a reception for Varadkar later Friday at the White House, which was itself designed and built by an Irish-born man, James Hoban. He oversaw the initial construction, rebuilding after it was burned down and adding renovations until his death in 1831.
