Trump meeting Irish leader Micheál Martin during visit

He has arrived at Farmleigh House, in Phoenix Park, where he is meeting with Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin.

Trump's first visit was to the Áras an Uachtaráin - the official residence of the Irish president - where he had a courtesy call with Irish President Catherine Connolly.

He will also attend events at the US Ambassador to Ireland's residence, before attending the Amgen Irish Open golf tournament which is taking place at the Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Doonbeg in County Clare, which he owns.

He was greeted by Tánaiste (Irish deputy prime minister) Simon Harris and Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee at Dublin Airport on Saturday morning.

Trump was welcomed at the Áras an Uachtaráin by President Connolly.

President Connolly, an outspoken Gaza activist who has been critical of the US and said Trump is acting "like a bully" over tariffs, has come under pressure to raise issues in the Middle East during her brief meeting with the US president.

Sinn Féin and a series of other parties in the Republic who backed her in the Irish presidency campaign last year have called on her to raise Gaza during her meeting with Trump.

Ireland is one of the most pro-Palestinian countries in the European Union and has been criticised for its stance by Israel.
