Text

I know that the deputy First Minister has been involved for many years in engagement with the US on Northern Ireland's behalf. Given the change in Administration, does she agree that engagement in DC, in particular, is crucial to build those relations? The Finance Minister outlined just last week Northern Ireland's £1 billion worth of exports. There is a need to lobby for a special economic envoy. Does the Minister hope to undertake that engagement?
