Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin has stated that US multinationals who have invested in Ireland are committed to working in the country for the 'long haul'. Martin made the comments ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump, where Ireland's trading relationship with America is expected to be discussed. He also made clear that Trump is 'always welcome' in Ireland. The meeting comes amid concerns that Trump's protectionist approach to tariffs and tax could pose a risk to the Irish economy, which is sustained by investment from US multinationals.
