Biden’s St. Patrick’s Day scrambled by Irish premier’s COVID case

LA Times  

President Biden meets virtually with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin in the Oval Office on March 17, 2022. President Biden had to settle for meeting virtually Thursday with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin after the visiting leader’s positive test for the coronavirus scrambled plans to mark St. Patrick’s Day at the White House. Martin saluted Biden’s leadership in marshaling democracies against what he called an “unjustifiable and immoral war.” “It’s firm, it’s determined, it’s measured, it’s strong,” the Irish leader said. The Irish prime minister learned he had tested positive Wednesday evening while attending an event with Biden and Pelosi, but the White House said the president was not considered a close contact of Martin — also referred to as Ireland’s taoiseach. “We need the money.” This year marks the Irish American Biden’s second St. Patrick’s Day in office, but his first with substantial in-person events after last year’s celebrations were suspended by the pandemic.
