Ireland is now the sixth largest investor into the United States, a new report launched by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland states, declaring the transatlantic relationship is "a two-way street". 

As Taoiseach Micheál Martin meets with US president Donald Trump in the White House on Wednesday, the AmCham 2025 US Ireland Business Report aimed to highlight the reciprocal nature of the transatlantic business relationship, now valued at more than €1 trillion.
