Ireland on collision course with Trump before White House visit
Briefly

Ireland, represented by Tánaiste Simon Harris, has affirmed its unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty in light of continuing conflicts and negative rhetoric from US leadership. Harris's remarks were made during the G20 summit and aim to establish Ireland's position ahead of Taoiseach Micháel Martin's upcoming meeting with President Trump. Despite concerns about the US's tough stance, Harris insists that any negotiations regarding Ukraine must involve Ukrainian voices. This strong affirmation highlights Ireland's commitment to supporting Ukraine's government and the territorial integrity of the nation.
There's real alarm and concern across the European Union, and I think across Ireland, in terms of some of the rhetoric that we've heard in relation to Ukraine in recent days.
Ukraine is not in anybody's gift. Ukraine is a sovereign country. Its territorial independence must be respected.
