President-elect Donald Trump reportedly upset the leaders of Germany and Britain when he took his first congratulatory call from a European leader from Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
MSNBC are reporting that both British and German leaders, Theresa May and Angela Merkel, were furious that Trump chose to take the call from him.
The call was arranged through the Irish embassy and made An Taoiseach the first European leader to speak to Donald Trump following his surprise election win on Tuesday.
During the ten minute phone call, President-elect Trump praised Ireland's work on rebuilding the economy and
invited Enda Kenny to visit the White House on St Patrick's Day next year.
“I had a very good conversation with the president-elect,” Kenny said.
“He understands Ireland very well. He was complimentary about the decisions made about the economy here. He is looking forward to doing business with Ireland and I asked him specifically about Patrick’s Day, he is looking forward to continuing that tradition over many years.”
Yesterday, a leading economic advisor to Donald Trump said that
"floods of companies" would leave Ireland if Donald Trump's economic plan is successful.
