The White House has issued a statement ahead of Mr Varadkar’s visit to Washington next Thursday, 14 March for the traditional St Patrick's Day celebrations.
According to the statement issued last night, the two leaders will discuss how to further strengthen relations between the US and Ireland. They will look at ways of enhancing economic and people-to-people ties, and discuss maintaining the progress achieved by the Good Friday Agreement. Last week, the White House officially designated March as "Irish-American Heritage Month".
In a statement, President Trump noted that more than 31 million Americans look back with pride on their Irish heritage and the legacy of their ancestors. "As we spend this month honouring the incredible history of Irish Americans, especially on St Patrick's Day, we look forward to a bright future of continued friendship and cooperation between the United States and Ireland," he said.
