President Joe Biden began a three-day visit to the Republic of Ireland. He made a short visit early Wednesday to Belfast in Northern Ireland, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday peace agreement.

He then flew on Air Force One to Dublin, where he traveled to Carlingford Castle and toured the town of Dundalk in County Louth.

The 80-year-old president even took questions from kids — despite refusing to hold a formal press conference during his Emerald Isle visit with his sister, Valerie Biden Owens and scandal-plagued son, Hunter.
