Trump: Brexit will be very, very good

US president Donald Trump has claimed the Brexit crisis which is putting tens of thousands of Irish jobs at risk is going to be “very, very good” for Ireland, predicting it is “going to work out” for this country.

Mr Trump made the claim despite having to be publicly corrected by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar after referring to the border with the North as “your wall” and failing to outline any potential solutions to the standoff.
