Trump accuses Ireland of cheating US amid Premier's visit to DC

President Donald Trump welcomed Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin on Wednesday for the annual St Patrick's Day celebration at the White House, where he added Ireland to the list of countries he says are taking advantage of the US.
WASHINGTON:
Martin countered by noting Ireland's contributions to the US. It was Trump's first Oval Office meeting with a foreign leader since his recent sit-down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which morphed into a shouting match as they jousted over ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The session ended with Zelensky being asked to leave the White House. Martin, who offered only gentle pushback to some of Trump's comments, returned to the White House in the evening and presented Trump with a bowl of shamrocks at an early St Patrick's Day celebration. The duo also attended an annual luncheon at the Capitol.
