Trump admin updates: White House asks court to stay deportation flights TRO

After President Donald Trump again claimed that Ireland harmed American jobs and the economy, but Ireland Prime Minister Micheal Martin chimed in noting the number of Irish businesses that operated in the U.S.

"It's a two-way street," the prime minister said.

"We've added value to American companies. We've increased our value. They've got access to the European market, and they did all of that. I understand where you're coming from fully, but I think it's a relationship that we can develop and that will endure into the future," he said.

President Donald Trump went after the Democrats on several issues, claiming they have "no clue" when it comes to lowering taxes and acted badly during his speech to Congress last week.

"There wasn't a hand clap there. Nobody stood. There were just stone faced. These people are sick. There's something wrong with them," he said.

The president repeated his insult towards Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and also took a shot at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish.

"Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. You know, he's become a Palestinian. He is to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian," he said.

When asked about his whiplash tariff policies, which have caused a market meltdown, President Donald Trump first denied any inconsistencies before saying he had the right to make any changes.

"I have the right to adjust," Trump said.

The president added, "It's called flexibility. It's not called inconsistency. It's called flexibility. And I think you want me to be flexible."

Trump also pledged to move ahead with reciprocal tariff on April 2, calling it a "very big day for the United States."

President Donald Trump was asked if he has a meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin scheduled after Wednesday's developments in Saudi Arabia.

"I won't. comment on that. But we had a great success yesterday," he said, referring to the 30-day ceasefire proposal agreed to by Ukraine.

"It's up to Russia now," Trump said. "But we've had a good relationship with both parties, actually. And we'll see. People are going to Russia right now as we speak. And hopefully we can get a ceasefire from Russia."

When a reporter noted that Putin has broken agreements in the past, Trump said the administration hasn't spoken to him yet "with substance."

"We haven't spoken to him yet with substance because we just found out and we just were able to get Ukraine to agree," he said. "So, we're going to know very soon. I've gotten some positive messages, but a positive message means nothing. This is a very serious situation."
