Text
The US has been a vital economic partner for Northern Ireland in foreign investment, and we have our cultural linkages through the Ulster-Scots and Irish diasporas. As we approach the 250th anniversary of United States independence, perhaps the first step to looking at pre-clearance should be to re-establish a transatlantic flight from an airport here. Does she agree that that is a worthy goal that we should work towards?
