Trump Visits Ireland for Talks With Leaders and Irish Open Golf
Trump will meet Irish leaders and attend the Irish Open as protesters and more than 150 lawyers object to his visit.
- Following the somber 25th anniversary on Friday of the 9/11 attacks, President Donald Trump plans to fly to Ireland for a weekend at his Doonbeg golf resort, where he will attend the Irish Open that kicked off Thursday at Trump International Golf Links.
- Prime Minister Micheál Martin invited the president to watch the tournament during a St. Patrick's Day trip to Washington in March, aiming to maintain warm relations despite trade differences. The United States and Ireland share strong economic bonds, with 30 million Americans claiming Irish heritage.
- More than 150 Irish lawyers signed a letter objecting to the visit, alleging policies in Gaza and Iran are illegal. The trip requires a massive security operation for 20,000 golf fans attending the event in rural Doonbeg.
- On Saturday, Trump plans to sit down with Martin to discuss trade and international issues, and he will also hold a brief meeting with President Catherine Connolly. The White House said he will give remarks to business leaders at the U.S. ambassador's residence.
- A collection of left-leaning opposition groups plans to demonstrate in Dublin on Saturday. While Ireland is a member of the European Union—a frequent target of Trump's ire—the country's lucrative pharmaceutical sector has so far avoided steep levies.
