"Micheál Martin is due to visit the White House next month amid opposition calls for him to boycott the encounter following the US president's threat to seize Greenland and the aggression of his ICE immigration agency."
Micheál Martin is due to visit the White House next month. Fifty-four percent of respondents back the Taoiseach visiting America. The public are largely in favour of the Taoiseach meeting Donald Trump on St Patrick's Day. Support for the annual event has dropped by twenty percentage points since last year. Calls are growing for Martin to boycott the encounter. The boycott calls follow the US president's threat to seize Greenland and concerns about aggression by the ICE immigration agency. Opposition groups have cited those actions as reasons to oppose the meeting. The visit remains scheduled despite the controversy.
