Belfast, United Kingdom: A lawmaker from Northern Ireland's biggest pro-UK party on Thursday (Friday in Manila) condemned Joe Biden after the US president made contentious remarks about his recent visit to the territory.

Biden said the purpose of his trip last month was 'to make sure... the Brits didn't screw around' with peace in Northern Ireland, and 'didn't walk away from their commitments'.
