Ireland and the US are not arguing over where President Donald Trump might meet the Taoiseach if he visits, the Tánaiste has insisted. Simon Coveney said reports of a stand-off over locations were exaggerated and not true. There has been an expectation that President Trump will visit Ireland on June 5 as part of his trip to Europe. But with official confirmation still awaited from the White House, reports have emerged that officials are at odds on where Mr Trump might meet Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Mr Coveney responded today to the recent media reports.
