Analysis: Trump's victory puts the Irish economy back into uncertain territory 

The new US president's economic plans include tax cuts for corporations and import tariffs, both of which will be bad news for the Irish economy

Donald Trump ran on an economic platform of raising tariffs on imports ,which could have a very significant impact on Ireland's exporters. 

Donald Trump’s return to the White House is likely to reignite the uncertainty which was a trademark of his first term but unrestrained by re-election concerns, he will now feel emboldened to implement a raft of protectionist economic policies which could have serious knock-on effects for Ireland.

Among the consistent measures Mr Trump has touted as part of his economic plans are tax cuts for corporations and import tariffs, both of which will be damaging to the Irish economy depending on the severity.
