Donald Trump likely to travel to Doonbeg for Irish Open
US President Donald Trump is likely to travel to Ireland next month for a visit that will include his attendance at the Irish Open at his golf course in Doonbeg and events in Dublin.
US President Donald Trump is set to travel to Ireland next month for a visit that includes his participation in the Irish Open at his Doonbeg golf course in County Clare and events in Dublin. The two-day visit, which begins on September 12th, aims to ensure Trump is in the US for the annual commemoration of the September 11 terrorist attacks and present for the end of the Irish Open on September 13th.
The visit may also include a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin, though he is unlikely to deliver a speech or attend events at Leinster House, as Members of the Oireachtas return from summer break on September 16th. President Catherine Connolly's potential meeting with Trump is unclear, as his trip is not a formal state visit.
Ireland's Labour MEP Aodhán Ó Ríordáin criticized the visit, stating that Trump should not receive a red carpet welcome due to his chaotic global impact and undermining of the EU.
