President Joe Biden’s administration on Monday named Joe Kennedy III, a scion of the Irish American political dynasty, as an envoy on Northern Ireland.
Kennedy was given a title of special envoy to Northern Ireland for economic affairs with a focus on promoting investment and development.
The United States previously had a broader position of special envoy for Northern Ireland that started with former senator George Mitchell, who negotiated the landmark 1998 Good Friday agreement that largely ended decades of violence in the British-administered region.
