Trump meets Irish PM at White House ahead of St. Patrick's Day

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny pressed US President Donald Trump about undocumented immigrants in the United States at their first meeting on Thursday, a day before St Patrick's Day.
"We did discuss the question of immigration, which is so important to the fabric of our people. And I know that in this country, this is an issue that the administration and the president are reflecting upon...We discussed that very constructively this morning," Kenny said at a lunch event, hosted by House Speaker Paul Ryan at the US Capitol after the two met at the White House.
Kenny's tone was much more convivial than when he spoke in the Irish parliament in June last year, describing the then presidential candidate's rhetoric as "racist and dangerous." Trump has vowed to take a hard line against illegal immigrants, promising to speed up deportations, especially against those with criminal records.
