Donald Trump says Ireland has done a good job luring US companies

Former US president Donald Trump has said Ireland has done a good job “luring” US companies to the country.

He was speaking to reporters after his arrival at his golf course outside the town of Doonbeg in Co Clare.

He was greeted by a line of staff at the hotel and a display of Irish music and dance.

Speaking to reporters, he said the staff had “done a great job” and the course had “become a big success”.

They’ve been treated well just like I’ve been . . .
