Wednesday saw the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin come face to face with US President, Donald Trump.

The two met in the Oval Office, as part of the traditional St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

Donald Trump says he wants the US to come up with tax policies that would prevent Ireland and other countries from taking business away from America.

The US President referenced the Apple Tax case, blaming the EU rather than Ireland for the 16 billion euro tax bill.

Mr Trump says he wants politicians in the United States to work together on tax and insisted he's not upset with Ireland.

Meanwhile, Micheal Martin highlighted the benefits to both countries of the relationship between Ireland and the US.

To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Dr Chris McInerney.
