U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ireland on Wednesday for luring away U.S. companies with its low tax rates but pledged to work with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin to address what he called "massive deficits" in trade between the two allies.

President Donald Trump accused Ireland of taking U.S companies via taxation before exchanging shamrock bowls with Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin at the White House on Wednesday.

Rosie O'Donnell said she is in the process of getting Irish citizenship because she has Irish grandparents The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) seemed puzzled when a member of the White House press corps asked him about Rosie O'Donnell.

Rosie O'Donnell has left the U.S. for Ireland because of President Trump. She doesn't plan to return until 'it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there, in America.'

"The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful," O'Donnell said. O'Donnell said she is currently in the process of getting her Irish citizenship, which she can apply for because her grandparents are Irish.
