EU Braces for Trump’s Tariffs: Can Ireland Weather the Storm? | The Tonight Show
As the clock ticks down on a new wave of US tariffs, pressure is building on EU leaders to act fast. On The Tonight Show with John Lee, Lucinda Creighton, Kevin Doyle, and Dr Nora Strecker explore how Ireland fits into a tense transatlantic standoff.
Lucinda Creighton says “there’s a meeting of the minds with Germany which is helpful for us,” suggesting growing unity at EU level, but Kevin Doyle points out that Ireland is far from centre stage, noting “our impact is not like Brexit where the Northern Irish border put us at the centre of that.”
Meanwhile, Dr Nora Strecker warns the maths behind Trump’s trade model simply doesn’t hold up, and will not produce the outcomes he hopes.
What does this mean for Irish exporters, EU cohesion, consumers and the global economy? The panel digs into the risks, realities, and what’s next.
