Trump tells UK PM he has 'warm spot' for his country but really he's talking about Clare
In a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Donald Trump mistakenly refers to Ireland as part of the UK
In a meeting at the Oval Office with UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, Donald Trump says he has a "warm spot" for the Prime Minister's Country when in reality he is referring to Doonbeg in County Clare.
In a conversation where Trump thought he was listing his investments in the UK, seemingly he is not aware that Ireland, where his golf course and hotel is, is not apart of the United Kingdom.
President Trump says to the Starmer:
"It is a place that I have investments there, I own Turnberry, I own Aberdeen, I own a great place called Doonbeg in Ireland so I have a great warm spot for your (referring to Starmer) country."
Maybe when Toaiseach Micheál Martin makes his trip across the pond for the White House visit, which he says he is "delighted" to receive an invitation to, he can remind the US President that Ireland has in fact gained its independence from the United Kingdom.
