Political stability in Northern Ireland is important for American businesses looking to invest in the region, the US ambassador to the UK Jane Hartley has said.

DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson told his party’s annual conference that powersharing was essential to securing the Union The UK and EU agreed the Windsor Framework earlier this year in an attempt to address unionist concerns about the protocol, but the DUP has indicated it will not return to the Stormont Assembly until the Government provides further assurances over Northern Ireland’s place in the UK internal market.

Ms Hartley said: “It is a fantastic group of companies, about 40 companies, many of them have not been to Northern Ireland so it really is to showcase the immense talent pool, the incredible entrepreneurial spirit, the great education system.“There is so much opportunity there and all I do say is, just like any other place, stability is important and having a government to work with is important particularly in the long run.

“It reaffirms Northern Ireland’s place in the UK’s internal market, while simultaneously giving access to the EU single market for goods.
