Senator Charles Schumer has reiterated his support for the Good Friday Agreement during a meeting with North First Minister designate Michelle O'Neill during her visit to Washington, D.C.
O'Neill is in the nation's capital this week for a series of meetings wit political leaders who are committed to peace and political process in Northern Ireland.
In that context Schumer is in the front line.
Stated the Senate Majority Leader: “I was pleased to meet today with Michelle O’Neill, Northern Ireland First Minister-designate, and I congratulated her and the members of Sinn Fein for their historic electoral victory.
“We spoke about my deep commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, as well as the need for the UK government to not undermine the already-negotiated Northern Ireland Protocol, and the critical need to preserve access to justice for the victims of the Troubles.
"I wish incoming Minister O’Neill the best in her new position and I look forward to our continued dialogue and cooperation, and urge the incoming leaders of the Conservative Party in the UK to work in good faith with all parties to uphold the Good Friday Agreement, which has done so much to foster peace, stability and shared progress.”
