President Trump accused Ireland of taking unfair advantage of the United States, particularly in relation to the pharmaceutical industry. During remarks made in the Oval Office, he expressed respect for Ireland while criticizing previous U.S. leadership for allowing American companies to relocate. He proposed that imposing high tariffs on Irish products could have deterred American businesses from moving. Irish Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, visited Trump to discuss mutual investments, emphasizing the benefits of their economic relationship.
"I have great respect for Ireland, for what they did and they should have done just what they did, but the United States should not have let that happen."
"All of a sudden Ireland has our pharmaceutical companies, this beautiful island of five million people has got the entire US pharmaceutical industry in its grasp."
