Varadkar under fire over Trump U-turn

The Taoiseach has faced harsh criticism for performing a U-turn in inviting US President Donald Trump to Ireland.

Leo Varadkar is to meet President Trump in the White House today as part of the annual St Patrick’s events and said an invitation to Ireland still stands.

The Taoiseach ruled out taking part in a round of golf on Mr Trump’s Doonbeg resort, but suggested he would bring him to the border area if the invitation is accepted.
