Trump and Irish Taoiseach Martin Meet at White House on St. Patrick’s Day — Iran Dominates Press Availability

President Trump and Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin met at the White House on St. Patrick’s Day, but the press availability quickly became a wide-ranging briefing on the U.S. military campaign against Iran — with Trump declaring Iran’s navy, air force, and radar “wiped out” and warning NATO allies who praised the mission but refused to send even minesweepers. Trump also took aim at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, dismissed France’s Macron as nearly out of office, announced a U.S.–China summit in about five weeks, and brushed off the Irish president’s criticism that the Iran strikes violate international law, saying he’s “lucky I exist.”
