St. Patrick's Day has transitioned from a religious observance honoring Ireland's patron saint to becoming a major occasion for celebrations and parades in the United States. While Irish immigrants initially celebrated the day, it now features widespread events, including the renowned New York City parade and the dyeing of the Chicago River green. This year's event is marked by President Trump's remarks about Ireland taking advantage of U.S. tax policies, which was countered by Irish taoiseach Micheal Martin's focus on the positive economic ties between the nations.
