U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Dublin on Saturday for meetings with Irish President Catherine Connolly and Prime Minister Micheal Martin before attending the Irish Open at the Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg. The 48-hour trip is not an official state visit and comes as Republicans campaign to retain majorities in both chambers of Congress, with the Iran conflict pushing up gas prices and raising economic concerns among American voters. Talks could cover economic issues, Ireland’s concerns about the Iran war and the country’s neutrality. Ireland passed a law in July curbing goods trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, drawing criticism from U.S. lawmakers and the American ambassador. Trump was greeted at Dublin Airport by Ireland’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, while anti-war and anti-Trump protests were planned in Dublin and near the Doonbeg resort. In Doonbeg, a village of about 200 people, residents expressed opposition to Trump’s politics but also credited his family business with investment, jobs and improvements ahead of the tournament. U.S.-owned companies employ about 10% of workers in Ireland, where successive governments have prioritized employment and corporate tax revenue. Trump is expected to help present the golf tournament trophy on Sunday.
