Trump hits out at Irish Taoiseach in the Oval Office for taking advantage of the US

13th Mar 25 11:11 am

The US President has hit out at the Irish Taoiseach, Michael Martin, in the Oval Office telling a room full off reporters that Ireland has taken advantage of America under the Joe Biden administration.

Donald Trump was asked if he feels Ireland has taken advantage of the US, he said, โ€œOf course they are.

โ€œI have great respect for Ireland, for what they did and they should have done just what they did, but the United States should not have let that happen.

โ€œWe had stupid leaders. We had leaders who didnโ€™t have a clue.

โ€œAll of a sudden Ireland has our pharmaceutical companies, this beautiful island of five million people has got the entire US pharmaceutical industry in its grasp.

โ€œI have property in Ireland, as you know, and I love it. It does great, but Iโ€™d like to see the United States not have been so stupid for so many years, not just with Ireland, with everybody.

โ€œFor instance, when the pharmaceutical companies started to go to Ireland, I would have said โ€˜thatโ€™s OK if you want to go to Ireland, I think itโ€™s great, but if you want to sell anything into the United States Iโ€™m going to put a 200% tariff on you so youโ€™re never going to be able to sell anything to the United Statesโ€™.

โ€œYou know what they would have done? They would have stayed here.โ€

The US President was then asked if Ireland should be concerned of the threat of more tariffs, Trump said, โ€œHe doesnโ€™t look nervous, if he was nervous, he wouldnโ€™t show it.โ€

Irelandโ€™s economy has largely been helped by the US and Martin visited Trump to highlight a โ€œtwo way streetโ€ of investment between the two countries.
