the IRA got huge funding from the US - citizens, not government - and it wasn't till Washington acted that this died away and the IRA were forced into talks. So Washington's influence has been benign.

The only ones trying to screw around with the Belfast Agreement are the EU and apparently Biden himself. But it's well known that he gets confused and off subject. We ought not blame the whole nation just because they weren't given an option to vote for a decent leader. We in the UK are also familiar with that problem.
TTT, the american people voted him in so they obviously agree with him (well the majority of voters) and so get what they deserve.
I think the last three years (and the Obama years) has shown the distain for the UK the US have. Time to cut ties to a simple friendly status before it gets out of hand and hostilities start.
All we need to do with them is a basic trade, no formal agreements or anything and certainly not following them into continual wars.

"the IRA got huge funding from the US.."
Until 9/11, when the US experienced terrorism on their soil.
Funding stopped overnight for the cowardly IRA (terrorist) after 9/11.
These cowards would never go toe-to-toe against British Paratroopers who shouldn't have been sent there, but it was necessary . The cowardly IRA was out of control

This is all very silly.
The article also is needlessly stirring things***. There’s still a tension with Britain when leading folk in the US promote their Irish roots, given the baggage associated with the past history.
Sensible people take it with a pinch of salt.
*** The Black and Tans weren’t just “hated by the IRA” of course

//…well, yes, but Britain will then be at a disadvantage as against anyone the US does have a formal agreement with.//
Who would that be then? The US does not have a formal trading agreement with the EU and is never likely to have one. The US has free trading agreements with 20 countries. The only significant countries (as far as the volume of their trade goes) it has agreements with are Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. These are the only four in their top fifteen partners with whom they have agreements. The US is by far and away the UK’s top trading partner and we seem to do quite well without trading agreements.
