Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump arrived in Dublin on Friday for a brief diplomatic stop‑over before flying to County Clare’s famed Doonbeg Golf Club, where he will spend a weekend playing the links. In a private meeting at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trump discussed trade, tourism, and the upcoming U.S.–Ireland summit. Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar praised the visit as “an opportunity to strengthen the historic bond between our nations,” while Trump reiterated his support for Irish‑American business initiatives. After the talks, the former president was seen boarding a private jet bound for the coastal resort.
