From 'polite' pushback and 'pained smiles' to 'awkward' exchanges, how world media saw Taoiseach's encounter with Donald Trump
"The 40-minute meeting in the Oval Office was dominated by Mr Trump and his preoccupation with the lack of support from his Nato allies in the Strait of Hormuz."
"Taoiseach Micheál Martin's meeting with US president Donald Trump has been largely overshadowed in the international press by Mr Trump's comments on the Iran war and his criticism of the UK prime minister."
Taoiseach Micheál Martin met with US President Donald Trump for 40 minutes in the Oval Office, but the meeting received limited international attention due to Trump's dominant focus on other geopolitical concerns. Trump prioritized discussing Iran tensions and expressed frustration with NATO allies' lack of support in the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, Trump made critical comments about the UK prime minister. These issues overshadowed substantive discussion of Irish-American relations during the bilateral meeting.
