CHARLIE: WE WOKE UP A DIFFERENT. COUNTRY 24 YEARS AGO --. RACHEL: WE SURE DID. RIGHT NOW PRESIDIDENT TRUMP IS. OVERSEAS IN DUBLIN. HE'S TALKING TRADE AND MAKING. REMARKS ABOUT THE CONFLICT WITH. IRAN. CHARLIE: WE JUST SAW HIM. WRAPPING UP A MEETING WITH. IRELAND'S PRIME MINISTER AT THE. START OF THE TWO-DAY VISIT. GRIFF: WITH, THAT ALEX HOGAN. JOINS US LIVE FROM DUBLIN WITH. MORE. >> Reporter: GOOD MORNING. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ARRIVED IN. DUBLIN, IRELAND, THIS MORNING, A.

TRIP CENTERED ON DIPLOMACY AND. GOLF. THE PRESIDENT JUST FINISHED. ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS. HE WAS GREETED AND SEATED WITH. THE PRIME MINISTER, THE TEE. SHOT, MICAEAL MARTIN, QUESTIONS. CENTERING ON THE RELATIONSHIP. BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. HE SAYS THAT RELATIONSHIP GOOD. AND PROFITABLE. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE UNIFICATION. OF IRELAND, HE SAYS HE WOULD. LIKE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN. THOSE COMMENTS LIKELY WILL. CREATE SOMEAWAYS.

-- SOME WAVES. HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CURRENT. STANDING WITH IRAN, AND. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THIS. >> -- WHEN WILL THE WAR IN IRAN. END, MR. PRESIDENT. >> I THINK VERY SOON. I THINK IT'LL BE RIGHT AFTER --. THEY'RE TRYING TO HOLD OUT AS. LONG AS THEY CAN TO COMPLICATE. THE ELECTION, BUT I THINK PEOPLE. ARE WISE TO IT BECAUSE IRAN. CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. >> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP. TOUCHED DOWN A FEW HOURS AGO ON. THE TARMAC. HE WAS GREETED BY U.S. AMBASSADOR WALSH AND THE DEPUTY. PRIME MINISTER SIMON HARRIS.

BEFORE BOARDING THE BEAST, AND. PRESIDENT TRUMP MEANT WITH. IRELAND'S PRESIDENT FOR ABOUT 30. MINUTES TODAY, CONVERSATIONS. THAT TOUCHED ON A LOT OF HOT. BUTTON ISSUES INCLUDING TRADE. DISPUTES. WE EXPECTED TO HEAR. CONVERSATIONS CENTER AROUND THE. CONFLICT WITH IRAN, THE ONGOING. TENSIONS WITH GAZA AND IRELAND'S. ROLE AS A NEUTRAL COUNTRY. THE ECONOMIC STAKES HERE ARE. HUGE GIVEN THE RELATIONSHIP. BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE THEN -- WILL. THEN TRAVEL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF.

THE COUNTRY FOR THE IRISH OPEN. HOSTED AT HIS OWN COURSE. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS AN AVID. GOLFER, HE WILL ATTEND THE. ATTORNEY:S, AND -- TOURNAMENT, AND WE COULD EXPECT TO SEE HIM. PRESENT THE WINNER'S TROPHY. TOMORROW. IRELAND'S POLITICAL LEADERS. LIKELY SEEING THIS AS A WAY TO. SOFTEN THE RELATIONSHIP AFTER. DISAGREEMENTS OVER FOREIGN. POLICY GIVEN THE ECONOMIC. IMPACTS THAT THE U.S. HAS HERE.

IN IRELAND. COMPANIES EMPLOY ROUGHLY 10 OF. IRELAND'S EMPLOYERS.. -- 10%. BACK TO YOU. GRIFF: ALEX 40 GONE LIVE IN --. ALEX HOGAN LIVE IN DUBLIN. CHARLIE: IT WAS FUN WATCHING HIM. INTERACT WITH THE INTERNATIONAL. PRESS. THERE ARE NO RULES. YOU CAN ASK ANYTHING. HE'LL ANSWER ANYTHING, AND THEN, OF COURSE, AT ANY MOMENT HE. MIGHT TURN TO SOMEBODY ON HIS. STAFF AND SAY WILL YOU ANSWER.

THIS, AND THEN SUDDENLY YOU HAVE. TO ANSWER A QUESTION ABOUT WHO. KNOWS WHAT. MAYBE THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. RACHEL: YOU SAW THE PRIME. MINISTER OF IRELAND LOOKING. REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE AS THE. CONVERSATION OF THE IRAN WAR. POPPED UP BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, THEY ARE NOT ON BOARD WITH THAT. HOWEVER, GOING TO BE HARD FOR. THE PRESIDENT TO NOT GOLF THERE. HE LOVES TO GOLF. HIS AMBASSADOR TO IRELAND, ED. WALSH, OF COURSE, A FELLOW.

BUILDER, ALSO A FELLOW GOLFER, WON SIX CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE. BEDMINSTER GOLF CLUB. THEY ARE OLD FRIENDS. THE PRESIDENT LOS TO GOLF WITH. HIM, SO SURPRISED TO HEAR. GOLFING NOT ON THIS TRIP AT ALL, EXCEPT HE'S GOING TO BE THERE. FOR THAT TOURNAMENT, AND THEY. SAY HE MAY BE GIVING THE TROPHY. TO WHOEVER WINS THAT TOURNAMENT. VERY INTERESTING VISIT HERE, GRIFF, BECAUSE TRADE IS SUCH AN. IMPORTANT ISSUE. AND IT IS REALLY THE HALLMARK OF. THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA REALLY.

GRIFF: ABSOLUTELY. AND, YOU KNOW, THE CONTEXT OF. THIS, SOME 30 MILLION PLUS. AMERICANS CLAIM IRISH. HERITAGE --. RACHEL: RIGHT. GRIFF: OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF EYES. ON THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THIS. MEETING, AS YOU POINT OUT, RACHEL. NOT JUST THE PLEASURE SIDE --. RACHEL: OH, NO, A LOT OF. BUSINESS. GRIFF: I THOUGHT IT WAS. INTERESTING WATCHING THE LITTLE. PRESS GAGGLE THERE WITH THE. REPORTERS, HE WAS ASKED ABOUT. HOW HIS CONVERSATION WENT WITH. THE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT. KATHERINE CONNOLLY, WHO IS MORE.

OF A CEREMONIAL POSITION AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE PRIME MINISTER IS. IN CHARGE. SHE IS A PROGRESSIVE. SHE HAS CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP A. BULLY AND HAS VERY DIFFERENT.
