What Does Joe Biden’s Victory Mean for Brexit?

 Election victory signals a reset in the US’s approach to post-Brexit trade talks with Britain

Joe Biden's victory would have "major consequences for Brexit", which were close to negotiations on behalf of the European Union, forcing Britain to rethink its approach to Northern Ireland and the withdrawal of the withdrawal agreement. Threatened.

Biden's a close friend and US Secretary of State Chris Kons told the BBC that Biden wanted to "reimagine" America's transatlantic policy, with the UK's special relationship and its relationship with the EU damaged.

On Northern Ireland, he warned: "I would expect to be concerned about ensuring that Good Friday accents are respected and protected and that the way UK-EU terms are negotiated and do not endanger the stability of the border Puts. Conditions in Northern Ireland ".

But, it sees an advantage for a trade deal with the UK - and it is likely to gain a foothold in Europe which could use it as a way of gaining more access from the European Union. The thinking goes 'if the UK, which has the same standards, accepts our goods - then why can't it become an EU market?' He said.

Former US Ambassador to the European Union Anthony Gardner recently told an audience in Germany that, in the wake of worsening Brexit, Biden valued the transatlantic relationship with Europe and the UK.
