"I’m not into golf, so I won’t be playing a round at Doonbeg, but perhaps there will be an opportunity to potentially visit some of the Irish companies that invest in the US, and also as well perhaps to see the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland,” he said.

“I know that’s something he expressed an interest in when we spoke on the phone some months ago. He was very interested in that,” he added.
