“In my view, there is nothing more noble, President, than the pursuit of peace. And this is what you are doing”: During a joint press conference at the White House East Room on Wednesday, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin commended President Donald Trump’s dedication to bringing peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. “We know building peace is a difficult and painstaking task. But when the mighty United States of America puts its shoulder to the wheel, there is no mountain it cannot move,” he said.
