Taoiseach Varadkar has been hosted by the White House for the past two St. Patrick’s Days in Washington, DC as part of a long-standing tradition between Ireland and the US. President Trump has yet to make an official visit to Ireland during his presidency - he had a visit scheduled last fall but canceled citing scheduling conflicts.
