Irish broadcaster Ryan Tubridy reacts to Donald Trump's comments calling for a united Ireland on Saturday. "I'd love to see it unified," he said while meeting with the Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin.
President Donald Trump said Saturday that Irish reunification “would be a fantastic thing,” wading into a sensitive topic during a bilateral meeting with Ireland’s taoiseach, Micheál Martin.
On Tuesday's “The Right Squad,” the panel looks at President Trump’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations at the White House, including his meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin.
Trump also met with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the White House where the pair talked about Europe.
President Trump and Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin will participate in the annual Shamrock Bowl presentation on Tuesday afternoon at the White House. The St. Patrick's Day tradition, which began during the Truman administration in 1952, is meant to symbolize the enduring diplomacy between the U.S. and Ireland. During the event, Martin will present Trump with a bowl of shamrocks. The two leaders also met for a bilateral earlier Tuesday as the president pressures NATO allies to join the U.S. in policing the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The duo also joined lawmakers for a Friends of Ireland luncheon in the afternoon.
President Trump, hosting Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the White House, said NATO is making a “very foolish mistake” in Iran, saying he’s “disappointed” in the alliance. “Everyone agrees with us but they don’t want to help,” he said, noting American allies agreed there was a nuclear threat but isn’t helping in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil tankers are being held back by threat of Iranian attack. #trump #iran #nato

President Trump will meet with Ireland's Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Tuesday morning in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The event comes as many European leaders have balked at Trump's request for help in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing Iran conflict. Martin has thus far tried to strike a careful balance ahead of the White House meeting, according to NewsNation, while pushing for a peaceful resolution in the region and noting that the war does not have a U.N. mandate. Trump will also participate in a Friends of Ireland luncheon later Tuesday afternoon, which is hosted by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Capitol Hill, and will hold a Shamrock Bowl presentation in the evening.
