Enda Kenny defends visit to President Donald Trump on St Patrick's Day

The trip is an endorsement of ‘racist, horrendous’ agenda, claim TDs.

The Taoiseach has defended his decision to visit Donald Trump on St Patrick’s Day, despite opposition TDs claiming it would be an endorsement of his “horrendous, dangerous and racist agenda”.

Although Cabinet backed Enda Kenny’s annual trip to the White House, Transport Minister Shane Ross objected strongly to the visit given Mr Trump’s actions since entering office.
