March 17 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump hosted Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin at the White House on Tuesday during their annual St. Patrick's Day visit.
Taoiseach Martin thanked the president for "affirming the tremendous bonds" between the two countries at the Oval Office.
Trump said there is a "tremendous trade relationship" between Ireland and the United States.
"We have a tremendous trade relationship with Ireland, and we'll keep it that way. I think it's going to be expanded very quickly," Trump said. "Probably they want to talk a little bit about tariffs, but I won't mention that - you might want to be discussing that a little bit."
