Ireland Rejects Trump's $5K Promise | Belfast News

Donald Trump’s wild $5K promise to every adult American if Republicans win the midterms has Irish Tánaiste Simon Harris scratching his head—calling it “peculiar” and wondering how such a pledge could even be funded. Harris, staying neutral on U.S. politics, firmly states Ireland would never entertain such a promise. He also previews the upcoming U.S. President’s visit, hinting at serious global talks between Taoiseach Micheal Martin and Washington. Harris revisits a 2020 radio moment where he joked he’d call Trump an “awful gowl” if he lost—clarifying it was tongue-in-cheek since Trump won. Despite ideological differences, Harris confirms Ireland and the U.S. can still speak openly. The Irish government, focused on its own fiscal priorities and national interests, respects U.S. democracy but won’t mirror its spending fantasies.
