President Donald Trump pays tribute to his Northern Ireland friends at the St Patrick's Day lunch at Capitol Hill on Wednesday March 9 2025. To his right, off screen, he is gesturing to Micheal Martin, the Irish prime minister. In front of him were the main Northern Ireland representatives, Emma Little-Pengelly, deputy first minister of NI, and Gordon Lyons, Stormont communities minister, both of the DUP because Sinn Fein, the SDLP and Alliance boycotted Mr Trump.
