Donald Trump will visit Ireland ‘if time allows’

There is confusion as to whether US presidential candidate Donald Trump will visit Ireland next week.

Earlier this month, he tweeted that he would visit, but the fresh release of his travel schedule suggests he will not be spending time on Irish shores next week.

Mr Trump’s spokespeople also told the Irish Examiner he had never committed to travelling here. Press tour spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: “That I am aware of, Ireland was never in the plans. I’m not sure where that came from. We still hope to make a stop in Ireland if time allows. The details of Mr Trump’s itinerary have not been finalised.”
