Ireland is expected to be one of the most affected countries when President Trump announces a new round of tariffs later this week.
EU goods are expected to face a tariff of about 20% when entering the United States.
Among EU countries, Ireland is the most reliant on the US as an export market.
In 2024, Irish goods exports to the US were worth €73bn (£61bn), almost a third of the country’s total exports.
Visited Ireland last year. Fantastic country. Drove around the whole island on a 10-day road trip. Would definitely do it again, and it’s sad this orange shit stain will make life harder for my Irish brothers and sisters. I hope the people of Ireland find another outlet. America is trash and it doesn’t deserve you.
Maybe they shouldn’t have been offering <2% tax rates to corporations? Ireland’s ‘Fuck you I got mine’ tax laws are a net detriment to the rest of the world, it takes away tax dollars from other countries that could have been used for public services.
It’s theft.
