Enda Kenny's invitation to Donald Trump sparks anger among opposition

US President Donald Trump intends to visit Ireland before the end of 2020, sparking a wave of criticism from opposition parties who claim Ireland has sold out on its values.

Mr Trump and Taoiseach Enda Kenny confirmed that the trip will take place within the next four years during a high-profile meeting at the White House.

Asked by reporters at the Oval Office if he will visit Ireland, Mr Trump said “absolutely, I’ll be there for sure” before Mr Kenny added “during the course of his presidency”.
