US President Donald Trump is set to visit Ireland for at least two days in September.

The trip will include a visit to Co Clare, where he is expected to attend the Irish Open golf tournament at his course in Doonbeg, the Press Association understands.

He is also expected to visit Dublin, but details on many elements of the engagement have yet to be finalised.

On his last visit to Ireland in 2023, Mr Trump was warmly welcomed to Doonbeg where locals waved American flags, and some donned the Make America Great Again cap.

But his last visit when he was in office in 2019 sparked protests from climate change, left-wing, pro-Palestine, pro-choice, anti-racism and anti-war activists, who flew the Trump baby blimp in Dublin.

The last visit of a sitting US President to Ireland was by Joe Biden in 2023 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.

Mr Biden visited Belfast, Dublin, Co Louth and Co Mayo, exploring his ancestral links to the former and declaring “Mayo for Sam”.
