Taoiseach Simon Harris has warned of the potential threat of “transatlantic trade shocks”, just hours after Donald Trump was elected as the next US president.

Mr Trump has repeatedly promised to introduce tariffs on goods imported into the US from the EU, with pledges that such taxes will be up to 10%.
