Joe Biden believes a patched-up relationship with Boris Johnson will help to decide the "destiny of the world" as the president-elect is set to head to the UK for his first foreign visit outside of North America, sources have told the Telegraph.

A close friend of Mr Biden said the leaders will bury differences over Brexit as British officials said they expected the UK to be one of the first foreign destinations, in what would be a major diplomatic coup for Mr Johnson.

Mr Biden is due to be sworn in on Wednesday. Sources who would be closely involved in any visit have circled the G7 summit in June, hosted in the UK, as the potential date for the new president’s trip across the Atlantic.

Mr Biden opposed Brexit, and feels strong loyalties to his ancestral home in Ireland. He warned repeatedly last year, including directly to Mr Johnson, that the Good Friday Agreement must not become a "casualty of Brexit"...CONTINUED...

7. Yup. I've said all along that Biden as POTUS would instantly restore our alliances w/ our allies, &

show our enemies whose in charge, both foreign & domestic.

3. Disagreements VS the IMPLOSION of the US means things look different.

While in an ideal world THAT would have been a conversation of highest importance, we need to see our people survive COVID and Domestic Terrorism that millions of people believe is being caused by the people trying to stop it.

BACKWARDS WORLD much?

Anyway, it might be a better, more productive conversation in the long run when Boris realizes how much better it will be to deal with Joe than tRump.

4. live and let live policy, let's focus on our similarities. Russia is the enemy, democracy our friend

5. Johnson is a moron atop what is in many respects a truly shameful, GOP-lite administration

but I would like to think Biden's influence will be positive in some small way. I’m not convinced the Good Friday Agreement would still be standing had Tangerine Fascist won a second term.

6. When it is all said and done, I think Northern Ireland and Scotland will eventually give

the UK the old heave hoe because of Johnson's BS. Johnson is a right wing douchebag, and yet I
guess you got to work with people of all stripes.

In the long run, it's probably in our interest and the UK's interest to keep what alignments we have
together that are working.
