Mr Biden is a pragmatic internationalist
He was against Brexit but is unlikely to punish the UK for for leaving the EU or for the government's good relations with Donald Trump
Before turning to the UK or EU - he will be focusing on US issues first

Biden won't put Britain "at the back of the queue" of trade talks, as Obama once warned
But a trade deal with the US is always tough
The Biden administration wants good relations with the UK and the EU is unlikely to favour one over the other

The EU is relieved the Trump era is coming to a close
He criticised the bloc and threatened trade wars
European neighbours of Russia are delighted Biden is a strong supporter of Nato compared to Trump’s unpredictable attitude

Biden is proud of his Irish ancestry
He stands with other law-makers in the US who worry about any negative impact Brexit could have on the Good Friday Agreement
He says peace on the island of Ireland must not "become a casualty of Brexit"

Biden already has lots of contacts in Europe from his years as Obama's vice-president, but no-one knows his precise intentions
He’s expected to put America first (though in a quieter way than Donald Trump) and to focus more on Asia than Europe

On climate change Biden has promised that re-joining the global Paris Climate Accord will be a top priority when he gets to the White House
This is an issue on which the UK, EU and Biden can all agree

Some EU figures argue that Trump was a lesson for Europe, that they should depend less on the US
But while there is a real desire to become more self-reliant, most European leaders are far happier when they know they can count on the US president
