President Donald Trump arrived in Dublin on Saturday for a two-day visit. He landed under tight security for a trip that combines official diplomacy with personal business interests.
Trump is scheduled to meet with Ireland's president and prime minister. These talks could include politically sensitive topics such as economic issues and Irish leaders' concerns over the Iran war. The visit serves as a break from the pressures of the Iran conflict, its economic fallout, and his party's efforts to maintain power in the November midterm elections.
In addition to his official duties, the president will attend the Irish Open at his family's golf resort in Doonbeg. Trump has also inaugurated another golf course bearing his name in the town of Balmedie.
