Biggest Irish Cheer For Trump's 'Whiskey' Promise: Watch US President's Tariff Remark, Then...

Irish whiskey. And I said, on behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off. And now would you please join me in welcoming, ladies and gentlemen, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. We know it's all about you, the fans. The Irish fans are some of the best on the planet. We have never before had the chance of a sitting President of the United States at a DPB World Tour event. Thank you for providing us with an exceptional golf course for the players to play on. And thank you for your support of golf. The last four days reflects also the very strong relationship, the strength of an enduring relationship between the United States of America and Ireland. We are tied together by history, by family, by friendship. And that has been so manifest over the last four days. It's been a wonderful, joyous, celebratory occasion and sporting occasion. I was with Shane last night, and he's got an infectious personality. And we were talking. Rory was there. A lot of people were there. I said, you know, I'm supposed to leave this morning. I was supposed to be out of here this morning. But I'm going to stay and watch Shane win. And he did win. I do want to say, though, that on behalf of my son, Eric, and the whole Trump family, this is an honor. We're so proud. The whole Doonbeg, and frankly, Ireland itself has been so incredible, so inviting. And we're very honored by presenting you with a great course. It's been great. I want to mention one thing. He shocked, and I talked about it. And Shane talked about it. And everybody's been bugging me. They're saying, would you do me a favor? It's so unfair what's going on. Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey? And I said, on behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey. I just want to invite you to present the trophy to our winner, Shane Lowry. Our deserving winner, Shane Lowry. The MCA honours you as an amateur and as a professional. Thank you, Mr. Ernie. Thank you very much. Ireland was fantastic. The tournament was record-setting. The attendance was number one. They have never seen anything like that one because the person that won, Shane, was a fantastic player. But he's from Ireland, and he played well. He played fantastically. And everybody was — just a very exciting moment. So it was an honor to be here. We did a lot of business. Met with Keshuk, met with various other leaders, and we did a lot of business. But it was great to see it. It was a very festive occasion. Very big — a very big thing just happened. Mr. President, they say your approval rating is really low in Ireland. I think the polls are fake. My approval rating in Ireland is good. My approval rating in the U.S. is great. The problem is only the legitimate polls are showing, as you understand. So we're doing well. The country is doing very well. Our country is doing very well. You threatened to cut off trade with a nation running a trade deficit with the U.S. unless the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates. Are you actually going to follow through with that? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm going to do that with some nations. I'll have no choice. We don't want to have deficits with nations. We want to have surpluses or at least break-evens. But we have — other presidents — other presidents have allowed tremendous deficits, and we're not going to have that. So I will be doing it. It'll take place over a period of time. The 9-11 families on Friday asked you to help hold Saudi Arabia accountable for 9-11. They're asking you to release more records that tie maybe some of the hijackers of the people to Saudi Arabia. I heard that. Would you be open to that? Well, I'm going to look at it when I get back. I know they asked me Friday. I'll be looking at it when I get back. Do you think you will be open to that, though? Good thing, yeah. Mr. President, did you see that video of AOC and Monsanti laughing at the 9-11 ceremony in New York? What were your thoughts? I think it's terrible. It's not a place to be laughing, especially in that case. I thought it was — the fact that they were laughing together at a very important part of the ceremony was inappropriate. Mr. President, what's your — what's your reaction to the countries like the U.K., Ireland, Canada, who put sanctions on the Israeli settlers in the West Bank last week? Did you see that? Who put sanctions on? The U.K. or a number of European countries. I'm going to see it. I'll look at it. I'm going to see it. The Prime Minister is calling me on Monday or Tuesday, and I'll be taking a look at it. Mr. President, what do you think of Ken Paxson's race in Texas? It's pretty close. In some cases, the Democrats win it. Is Ken Paxson doing what he needs to be doing? I think so. I think the fact that we had such a successful convention really helped Ken Paxson. He was a big part of it. And, look, I mean, he was a great Attorney General. Ken Paxson was a great Attorney General, and that — and continues to be. And I think that counts for a lot. Why don't you think he's doing better? Well, I think he's tied or leading now. I think he got — he picked up blood. I hear that the convention helped Ken Paxson a lot. Lindsey Clancy's attorney last week asked you to pardon her. Is that under consideration? Well, I know. It's a very sad situation. I certainly heard that. But it's — look, it's a very sad — there is no winner there. There's no — there's no win, no matter what you do. Three children are dead. So, I don't know. But it's actually a state situation, you know, not a federal. He's asking you to call the prosecutor in the state. Would you do that? I appreciate that he feels that way. But — and he's a good attorney. I've heard from other people he's a very good attorney. I hope they can work it out. That's something they have to work out. It's a very sad — there is no win there.
