Ireland and the US administration require cultivation of their bilateral relationship. The Taoiseach would have no issue with President Donald Trump addressing the Oireachtas next year if the US president visits Ireland for the Irish Open golf tournament in Doonbeg. The comments followed Trump's address to the United Nations in New York, which prompted concern among EU allies about an erosion of shared democratic values. In that speech, President Trump criticized European climate and immigration policies and told European leaders, "your countries are going to hell". The diplomatic tone reflects balancing invitation with concern over transatlantic policy disagreements.
