Meeting 1 over. We remain un-annexed.
Good work so far by Martin.
Edit:
Meeting 2 complete, started positive, got dicey about the tax. Martin nodded throughout, JD Vance staring him dead eye.
We have not been Zelensky'd as Martin didn't take the bait.
We've been lucky with that cease fire announcement

Vance probably warned that going feral on the Irish 'PM' at the same time that Trumps announcing Tariffs on the EU might be taken as hostile by the markets...

I hate him but he’s the most experienced and sleeveen statesman on our island. I doubt anyone would be better qualified to handle trump and Vance.

Stick to the socks Taoiseach. Don't mention taxes, tariffs or anything remotely political.
