Ireland’s prime minister, Enda Kenny, has urged Donald Trump to help Irish people living in the US illegally, saying they just want to “make America great”. Trump welcomed Kenny to the White House, proclaiming his love for Ireland. After the meeting and luncheon, Kenny returned to the White House for a St Patrick’s Day reception. Kenny was the first EU politician to meet with Trump after the British prime minister, Theresa May. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, was scheduled to come to the White House on Tuesday, but that visit was moved back to Friday because of the snow.
