Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee will seek more clarity from US authorities on Donald Trump's plan to vet the social media accounts of anyone travelling to America for the previous five years. She plans to engage directly with the US State Department to understand the implications for Irish businesses, politicians, tourists and fans travelling to the World Cup next year.
