Trump to visit Ireland's leaders before attending golf tournament

U.S. President Donald Trump will meet Ireland’s leaders on Saturday before attending a golf tournament this weekend, as reported by Business Recorder. The meetings with Ireland’s president and prime minister are not part of an official state visit but could include politically sensitive topics such as economic issues and Irish leaders’ concerns over the Iran war.

Trump is making his 48-hour foreign trip as his Republican Party campaigns to keep its majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress, with the Iran conflict heightening economic concerns among American voters by raising gas prices nationwide. Ireland is one of the European Union’s most pro-Palestinian countries and has passed a law in July curbing goods trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, a move criticized by U.S. lawmakers and the American ambassador to Ireland.
