+UPDATE+
Biden transition team provides read-outs of the 4 countries Joe Biden has calls with post election confirmation.
While these are traditionally kept as bland subjects rather than details - it’s worth noting importance Biden team attaches to N. Ireland & GFA agreement.

Strangely though..
...This is the one subject that the UK govt omitted from its read-out of the call with Joe Biden published on UK govt website.

In political-diplomatic terms it’s likely of no importance.
But I’m sure it won’t have escaped the
Americans’ notice that the UK govt chose to misrepresent the very first interaction with the new president.

2 things to take from the call.
1. Biden warned Johnson that GFA & peace principles in N Ireland must be adhered to
2. Johnson assured Biden this would be the case
Quite how this is squared with IMB is unclear.
But Biden has already put Johnson on notice.

99% of the time congratulatory calls to new president are bland “summary’ type calls of cooperative intent.
But if the above report in FT is correct then Joe Biden has just put Boris Johnson on notice that he has just 20 days to sort out a solution for Northern Ireland.
