Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that US President Donald Trump could visit Ireland as early as June.
The Taoiseach said that President Trump may come to Ireland as part of a visit to Europe that he’s due to make to attend D-Day commemorations.
“It’s possible that he’ll make the trip to Ireland before or after one of those but it’s still early days yet,” said Varadkar.
Earlier this week, Varadkar met Trump for a bilateral meeting at the Oval Office and Trump said that he would visit Ireland this year.
“I will be coming at some point this year. I missed it last year, and I would have loved to have been there. It’s a special place and I have a very warm spot for Doonbeg I will tell you that. It is just a great place,” he said.
Trump is also expected to travel to London in December for a NATO conference.
While speaking in Chicago, Varadkar also stated his belief that the DUP does not want Britain to crash out of the EU.
“I certainly have the sense that the DUP would like the UK to leave the European Union with a deal, that they don’t want no deal either so at the moment they’re in discussions with the British government about how they might approach the next vote but they’re discussions that I’m not party to,” he said.
