Donald Trump ‘will be a great friend to Ireland’

US president Donald Trump loves Ireland and “will be a great friend to this country”.

That is according to his son, Eric Trump, who said his father is showing “real back-bone and real leadership” to the rest of the world.

He said: “You have seen what has happened in Syria which was the worst atrocity that you can ever imagine — innocent women and children being gassed by an awful dictator.”
