Varadkar and Biden agree on need for Gaza ceasefire in St Patrick's Day White House talks
Friday, 15 March 2024 Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and US President Joe Biden have agreed on the need for a ceasefire "as soon as possible" in Gaza and a two-state solution for Palestinians during talks in Washington on Friday.

During a recent campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden launched a sharp attack on supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump, characterising them as the kind of individuals "you'd like to smack in the ass." His remarks came as he criticised Trump’s proposed tax cuts for high earners, framing them as harmful to working-class Americans. Biden's comments aimed to highlight what he perceives as the detrimental effects of Trump’s policies, which he argues primarily benefit the wealthy. This outburst, reflecting Biden's escalating rhetoric against Trump and his supporters, underscores the growing tensions as the November 5 election approaches. The President's comments sparked discussions about the deepening divide in American politics, with both candidates intensifying their messaging in the lead-up to the election.
