Joe Biden welcomed Leo Varadkar to the White House for St. Patrick’s Day on Friday as the Irish leader promised to roll out the red carpet for the president’s upcoming visit.
Biden, who is proud of his Irish roots, which is where his great-great-grandfather was born, said he hopes to visit Ireland “soon.”
It’s good to have you back in the Oval Office, Taoiseach. It’s a great day at my grandparents’ house, our house, a great day here,” she said.
Varadkar said the entire Republic of Ireland was looking forward to seeing Biden. The president is expected to travel there next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday deal.
“I promise you that we will roll out the red carpet and it will be a visit like no other. Everyone is already excited,” the taoiseach said.
Ireland’s Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told President Joe Biden that his country looked forward to welcoming him for a visit.
The White House turned green for the occasion. The water in the North Lawn fountain was tinted green, shamrocks decorated the Oval Office, and the president wore a green tie with white dots.
Green is the theme of the day amid a jam-packed schedule of holiday-related activities that included a meeting in the Oval Office, a Capitol Hill luncheon hosted by President Kevin McCarthy and Irish Eggs for Breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris .
Varadkar’s visit comes after Biden said he plans to visit both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland next month, which marks the 25th anniversary of the US-brokered Good Friday deal.
The agreement helped end sectarian violence that had raged for three decades over whether Northern Ireland should be unified with Ireland or remain part of the United Kingdom.
“I want to recognize the central role that the United States has played in the peace process on our island, moving it forward and the critical points,” Varadkar said Friday morning during his meeting with Harris.

Before his meeting with Biden, Varadkar, known as the taoiseach, and his partner Matthew Barrett visited the Naval Observatory to have breakfast with Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff. ‘Eggs St. Patrick’ were on the menu. It’s an Irish twist on Eggs Benedict.
Harris wore a green pantsuit for the occasion. All three men had shamrocks in the top pockets of their jackets.
He acknowledged Biden’s love of all things Irish, noting: “He’s quite exuberant in that joy and now I’ve got the bug.”
Later on Friday, the boyband One Direction and Irish singer Niall Horan will perform for leaders and guests at the White House.
Horan was one of five members of One Direction, the popular 2010 English-Irish boy band, which has sold more than 70 million records worldwide. The band officially broke up in January 2016.
During Friday’s visit, Varadkar is expected to present Biden with a crystal bowl etched with shamrocks, a tradition that began in 1952.
