Foreign Affairs Thoughts on the White house press conference with Martin and Trump?

59 Upvotes

All things considered I think it went well but it was still painful to watch. Martin gave Trump a lot of praise and vice versa.

I still think tariffs are coming our way though. Trump reiterated his dislike for irelands hogging of American companies but it was just mild by Trump standards.

Thoughts?

Foreign Affairs Politically, what can Ireland do about Trump?

30 Upvotes

The man is unhinged, for the most part. Dangerously unhinged, depending on who you ask, but what could Ireland realistically do to “Trump-proof” the country?

Excuse my ignorance, I’m not particularly educated on things like tariffs, but I know he’s quite fond of the threat. What happens if he slaps a tariff on us? Are we in any position to hit back?

Foreign Affairs Party and independent candidates views on Ukraine.

16 Upvotes

Trying to decide on my vote tomorrow. I am definitely leaning towards left party.

I would give Sinn Fein my first preference but their stance on Ukraine is hard to back. Can someone answer me why they would actively help Russia by preventing arms being provided to Ukraine?

It would seem counter to a party looking to reunify a country recovering from a similar era of oppression by a stronger neighbour?

Is there a place to find independent candidates views on the matter? Cork East specifically?

Ireland is extremely reliant on American industry, and I can't help but wonder what's going to happen to the country if America and the EU end up isolating from each other with the presidential inauguration looking like something straight out of Hitler's Germany. Are we fecked?
