Yes, EU-UK relations are poor & in respect of NI have the potential to get even worse. But as usual, populist UK media pretend (at best) this is something that just sort-of-had-to-happen after Brexit or (at worst) = evil plot by wicked EU to punish poor little Britain. In fact...
... deep rupture in EU-UK policy relations = result of deliberate Tory choice to pursue Hard Brexit. & serious deterioration in EU-UK political relations = equally deliberate decision of Johnson Regime, desperate to "justify" costly Brexit by whipping up anti-European xenophobia.
But more than just media propaganda, this is about cementing the hard right Brexit Project by trying to drive a deep wedge between EU & UK: diplomatically by UK acting like some malignant "West Coast Russia"; at home by poisoning minds for a generation. We can't let them succeed.
And nor should Biden. The best thing he could do right now is tell Johnson and his Trump-tribute-act Regime: stop undermining the international cause of liberal democracy by deliberately setting out to undermine western fraternity; oh, and stop playing games with peace in NI too.
