Incoming US President Joe Biden is set to make a stopover at Shannon Airport on his way to England for the G7 summit in June.

This would mark the first time Mr Biden, whose inauguration takes place tomorrow, would set foot on Irish soil as president.

The president-elect has strong Irish family roots in Co Mayo and Co Louth and has made many visits to Ireland.

Sources said Mr Biden's plane will stop in Ireland to refuel, more than likely on the way to Cornwall but possibly on the way back.

Whatever about comparing it to when Trump came, even a brief refueling stopover would be better than Yeltsin's visit:
