Trump Visits Ireland for Talks With Leaders and Irish Open Golf
Trump will meet Ireland’s leaders and business figures before heading to his Doonbeg resort, where 40,000 fans are expected at the Irish Open.
President Donald Trump arrived in Dublin on Saturday, September 12, 2026, for a two-day visit, holding separate meetings with Irish President Catherine Connolly and Taoiseach Micheál Martin to discuss bilateral ties.
Ireland mobilized at least 4,000 police and personnel for the visit in an operation reportedly costing 20 million euros , reflecting logistical complexity of hosting the president at a private resort.
Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly stated there will be "no tolerance" for public disorder as anti-Trump demonstrators plan protests in Dublin and Doonbeg, with rolling road closures causing significant disruption.
Trump will travel to his golf course in Doonbeg, County Clare, to attend the Irish Open, a visit occurring amid the significant economic partnership where U.S. firms directly employ 245,000 people in Ireland.
Policy differences persist as Ireland passed legislation in July restricting trade with Israeli settlements, a stance that diverges sharply from the Trump administration's position on Middle East policy.
