SIMON Harris has played down the prospect of a potential trade war between the EU and the US as the Tanaiste claimed: “We can do business with Trump.”

The new Foreign Affairs Minister has also revealed his plan to set up a new talking shop with American companies based in Ireland to try convince them to keep their business here.

An economic report from Goodbody Stockbrokers today warned that Donald Trump’s economic policies pose the “biggest vulnerability” to the Irish economy.

President Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on EU goods travelling to the US with fears this could encourage American companies based in Ireland to start making their products in the States.

Officials in the Department of Finance fear Donald Trump’s policies will erode Ireland’s bumper corporation tax returns with US multinationals accounting for 83 per cent of our corporation tax.

However, Tanaiste Simon Harris today played down the threat of President Trump’s policies as he believes Ireland and the EU can do business with the new US administration.
