President Donald Trump spent Sunday, September 13, 2026, at his Trump International Golf Links course in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland, where the Irish Open was being staged. The White House posted video of the president gaggling with reporters at the first tee box that morning, and wire photographers including the Associated Press captured him arriving at the tee. The stop followed his arrival ceremony in Ireland and a bilateral meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin on September 12, and remarks to U.S. embassy staff in Ballsbridge. During the informal exchanges Trump addressed foreign-policy questions, including matters tied to the Middle East that were being tracked in international live coverage the same day. The visit drew attention because the president was conducting diplomacy and taking questions at a property he personally owns, blending official travel with a Trump-branded venue. He later held an impromptu press availability aboard Air Force One as he departed. The trip came less than two months before the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, making his overseas remarks politically consequential at home.
