President Donald Trump said he plans to visit Ireland as he welcomed the country's prime minister to the White House on Thursday.
Trump greeted Leo Varadkar the recently elected Irish leader or Taoiseach for the country's traditional St Patrick's Day visit. Asked if he would visit Ireland, Trump said "I will. I love it." He offered no further details.
Trump said the two countries had an "outstanding relationship." "A tremendous number of Irish are living in New York, where I grew up and they're living in the United States," said Trump, who also owns a golf club in Ireland.
"And these are truly wonderful people." Trump was also pushed over whether he would visit the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, a key unresolved issue in Brexit talks so far. He said that was "an interesting border also."
