Did Micheal Martin charm Trump or was he upstaged by Conor McGregor?
Donald Trump has hosted Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin at the White House as part of the St Patrick’s day celebrations – with more at stake than previous years as threats of tariffs loom. Martin was not the only Irishman to meet Trump at the Oval Office as controversial MMA fighter Conor McGregor was also invited. How did Ireland react to the meeting, and did it upstage Martin’s visit just days before? Will the Irish-US alliance stand the test of time or has the luck of the Irish run out? Joining Enda Brady for this discussion: Catherine Noone, Lawyer and Former Fine Gael Politician; Allie Renison, Former Adviser to the UK Government and Associate Director at SEC Newgate and Eoin McNamara Research Fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by Enda Brady, it’s about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:00 GMT on TRT World. #stpatricksday #Trump #Ireland #tariffs Credit to : Roundtable
