Donald Trump to leave UK for two nights at his Irish golf resort

The US President will today leave Britain in Air Force One and spend a couple of nights at his hotel and golf resort in County Claire, Ireland.

Donald Trump, wife Melania and their entourage will land at Shannon Airport this afternoon.

During his visit, he will hold a bilateral meeting with Irish premier Leo Varadkar at Shannon Airport.

It is understood the two leaders will discuss the EU and Brexit, as well as international issues.

Some of these include immigration, trade, US support for Northern Ireland and the EU-US relationship.

Mr Trump and the First Lady’s visit to Ireland comes after a busy schedule in the UK where the couple took part in a number of engagements.

The Trump family met the royal family at a lavish state banquet, where senior royals, captains of industry and other leading figures gathered to honour the president.

He also held a joint press conference with Prime Minister Theresa May on the second day of his visit.

Thousands of people are set to take part in protests across Ireland to coincide with Mr Trump’s visit.

The protests have prompted a massive security operation across parts of the country.

The Donald Trump baby blimp is expected to fly over the skies of Dublin at the largest of the demonstrations.

The Stop Trump Ireland coalition will stage a national protest in Dublin on Thursday at the Garden of Remembrance.

A Shannonwatch peace camp will be erected at Shannon Airport for the duration of his stay.

Mr Trump had been due to visit Ireland last November, but the trip was postponed for operational reasons.

He will also attend events in France on Thursday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
