The Oval Office witnessed a light moment on Wednesday, as he wore a Green-And-White Shemerock Moj about JD Wane, Vice President of Vice President of US President Donald Trump, during a meeting with Ireland Prime Minister Michael Martin. President Trump could not help, but laughing because he was distracted from Shri Vance’s crazy-patterns.
Discussion on inflation took an entertaining turn when Mr. Wane’s Shemark-Peturn’s socks suddenly attracted the President’s attention.
Pointing to the feet of my deputy, President Trump said, “I just have to talk about inflation; I love these socks. What is with these socks?”
He said, “I am trying to be focused, but I am very impressed by the Vice President’s socks.” After his comment, JD Vance laughed.
Replying the video on X, Mr. Vance said, “I knew he would comment on these socks,” with a laugh emoji.

Mr. Vance also said, “One of what we try to do with this breakfast is to remind them of the important bonds of friendship between the United States and Ireland.”
Later during the day, Mr. Martin returned to the Oval Office and on March 17, presented to President Trump with a bowl of Shamrock in front of St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. The two leaders also went to the capital for an annual lunch.
“The time-respecting tradition of Shemrock Bowl celebrations is an important moment to reflect the relationship between our two countries. Our people have long standing shoulder to shoulder for a long time. Irish America has been in the heart of shaping this great nation,” Mr. Martin has written on X.

During his engagement with Mr. Martin, President Trump was measured, saying that he should “do nothing to hurt Ireland”, before the trade relationship between the two countries should be inherent in “fairness”.
