Did they just become best friends?
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau only arrived in Ireland Monday night, but his counterpart, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, wasn’t about to waste a single minute he spent in his company on Tuesday.
As well as becoming seemingly the first world leader to outdo Trudeau in the fancy sock department, Varadkar and Trudeau gave hurling a go in the company of Ciarán Kilkenny and others and also discussed economic matters with some Irish business leaders.

Trudeau also paid a visit to President Michael D Higgins in Áras an Uachtaráin and it wasn’t the only thing he did in Phoenix Park, managing to fit in a run with Leo Varadkar before an appointment in Dublin Castle this evening.
The two lads are known to be fitness enthusiasts, although the picture below suggests the pace was leisurely at best. How patriotic is Trudeau by the way?

Speaking of pictures, if this isn’t one for the mantelpiece in Leo’s house, then we don’t know what is…
