The Irish government has said that Donald Trumps visit to Ireland in November a trip that would have been his first as US president will not go ahead because of scheduling issues.
But Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, seemed to contradict that view by saying that no decision had yet been made.
Sanders said at a press briefing on Tuesday afternoon: The president will travel to Paris in November as previously announced. We are still finalizing whether Ireland will be a stop on that trip. As details are confirmed we will let you know.

The people are amazingly friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic and the history is nearly incomprehensibly ancient.
By the way, didn't we once have a President O'Bama, you know, a Black Irishman?
