FULL: Trump meets with Irish prime minister at White House on St. Patrick's Day

Video Description

President Donald Trump met with Micheál Martin, taoiseach of Ireland, Tuesday morning at the White House as part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. While answering questions from White House reporters this afternoon, Trump criticized Europe's immigration policies. "I love Europe," Trump said. "I've spent a lot of time in Europe. It's a different place. Bad — bad things have happened to Europe, very bad things, and you better do something about immigration." Shortly after, Martin chimed in, saying that Ireland's "population is growing, but in a very positive way, our economy is going well because we're attracting a lot of people from Europe and beyond into work legally and validly in our country." The bilateral meeting comes as the Trump administration continues to seek international support for securing the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. Several European leaders have expressed hesitation about participating in expanded security efforts in the region. Trump told reporters today that he would delay his trip to China for “five or six weeks,” officially pushing the major summit back because of the war in the Middle East.
