Mick Mulvaney, U.S. President Donald Trumps former acting chief of staff, will soon make his first trip to the British Isles in his new role as the U.S. special envoy for Northern Ireland, according to two people familiar with the trip.<\/p>\n

After not traveling to Europe for the last six months because of the pandemic, Mulvaney, who was appointed in March, is expected to go to Belfast, Dublin and London in the next few weeks and has been in touch with the Irish governments about the arrangements, according to one of the people.<\/p>\n

Mulvaney confirmed the rough outlines of his itinerary, but said that details are still being worked out of who exactly he will be meeting with and where and when hes going.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts safe to say that I will be spending time in Belfast, London and Dublin, and meeting with all of the major government representatives,\u201d he said in an email. \u201cThe trip will be focused primarily on Covid and the prospects for economic development in the near term, though obviously the Internal Market Bill and the Northern Ireland protocol will take a good bit of our attention as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irish officials have found that the American role over the years has been helpful because the U.S. can bring a broader perspective to often knotty parochial issues, as well as bring an economic dividend because of U.S. investment in Ireland, where a number of major U.S. tech companies have significant footprints.<\/p>\n

\u201cWere happy to see him come because we see Americas role in Ireland always in a positive light because of the history of positive U.S. involvement in Northern Ireland,\u201d said one Irish government official.<\/p>\n

His trip comes as the British government in recent weeks has threatened<\/a> to break its Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union with its Internal Market Bill \u2014 and in doing so, violate part of the Northern Ireland Good Friday peace agreement \u2014 as leverage to force the EU to agree a more favorable trade deal. Prime Minister Boris Johnsons government has proposed taking back some previous regulatory powers from the EU, including border checks between Ireland and Northern Ireland, the latter of which remains part of the U.K. The move would break a protocol protecting the 1998 peace deal that ended decades of strife in Northern Ireland between those who wanted to remain part of Britain and those who wanted to join an independent Ireland.<\/p>\n

This is not Mulvaneys first trip to Northern Ireland this year; he traveled<\/a> to Belfast in February when he was still acting chief of staff to meet with government officials and other business and community leaders. He recently told<\/a> Irish-American newspaper Irish Echo that one reason he hasnt yet traveled for his new role is because of concerns about whether some people would be comfortable seeing him face-to-face in the middle of a pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Im there, if someone doesnt is not comfortable meeting face to face, then it sort of defeats the purpose,\u201d he said. \u201cTheres no reason to go to Belfast to have a Zoom meeting with someone whos down the road. So the timing has to be right. Were making the best of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was a member of Congress from South Carolina, Mulvaney was a member of Congressional Friends of Ireland and took an active interest in Irish affairs in part because of family roots that go back to County Mayo.<\/p>\n

The State Department did not have a comment on the trip.<\/p>\n

Besides his official duties at the State Department, where he is a special government employee, Mulvaney is starting a hedge fund<\/a> named Exegis Capital with investor Andrew Wessel where they will buy stock in banks and other financial firms based on Mulvaneys knowledge of financial regulation. He also has gotten more active with his online profile by joining various social networks, including LinkedIn<\/a> and conservative Twitter alternative Parlor.<\/p>\n

In early July, he also joined Twitter, with his first tweet<\/a> being \u201cIs this thing on?\u201d On his account, he has shared links<\/a> to<\/a> TV hits hes done and a CNBC <\/a><\/p>\n
