The students were protesting America’s foreign policy, according to BBC.
As a New York Senator in 2002, Clinton voted in favor of the war in Iraq. During her tenure as U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, Clinton persuaded President Barack Obama to participate in the bombing of Libya, “leaving Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven,” according to the New York Times. She also supported the 2009 troop surge in Afghanistan. (RELATED: Bill Clinton Escaped #MeToo)
Clinton, who was appointed in January 2020, spoke at the event for about 15 minutes, during which time she encouraged the people of Northern Ireland to “work together to resolve their differences over Brexit and dealing with the legacy of past violence,” according to BBC.
