Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin meets US President Donald Trump in White House during an annual trip to mark Saint Patrick’s Day. The usually amicable diplomatic opportunity centres around the gifting of a bowl of green shamrock — a symbol of Ireland — to the current White House occupant.
This year, amid escalating battles of tit-for-tat tariffs between Washington and countries around the world, Trump is expected to focus on EU member Ireland’s enormous trade surplus in goods with the United States. According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, its deficit in goods trade with Ireland last year was almost 80 billion euros ($87 billion), the fourth largest of any other single country.
