The article discusses Ireland's approach to managing trade relations under President Trump's upcoming second term. Mr. Harris plans to establish a monthly trade consultative forum to bolster Irish trade and diplomatic efforts. The former WTO head encouraged negotiation with Trump, highlighting potential tariff threats. While the Irish government values its relationship with the US, it remains cautious about the implications of Trump's policies. With support from various Irish business organizations, Harris aims to integrate trade strategies with diplomatic efforts to engage effectively with the Trump administration and reinforce Irish investment in the US.
I am confident following engagement with our diplomats in Washington and across the US that we will be able to chart a way forward.
I think we can do business with President Trump and ensure that our long economic, political, diplomatic and cultural relationship with the United States continues.
Pascal Lamy urged Ireland to negotiate with Trump like he does with others - with "a gun in his pocket".
Our focus will be on targeting the thousands of decision-makers in the Trump administration and ensuring they know the two-way relationship and strength of Irish investment in the United States.
