President Trump greets Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin

Irish Taoiseach - Prime Minister - Michéal Martin has just arrived at the White House, where Donald Trump greeted him at the doors of the West Wing just before they headed inside to the Oval Office.

It was, by the standards of this White House, a rather subdued arrival. The silence was only punctuated by a series of short questions from the gathered press, one of whom asked about inflation.

"Very good news," Trump responded, in reference to inflation numbers cooling in February.

Trump ignored a follow-on question about what he would tell Americans whose savings are feeling the crunch as a result of the stumbling stock market.

The pair went inside shortly after. We'll soon hear from them again inside the Oval Office. Stick with us
