Enda Kenny has responded to the devastating news that Donald Trump has been elected as the 45th President of The United States.
Ever the politician though, Kenny has released a generic statement offering “sincere congratulations” to Donald J. Trump.
In the statement, the Taoiseach says Ireland and The United States have enjoyed a very close and warm relationship for many generations and Kenny is “confident that under [Trump’s] leadership, our bilateral relations will continue to prosper.”
Kenny did distinctly say that we as a nation think of Hillary Clinton as a friend to Ireland and he commended her on such a well fought campaign.
Kenny says he looks forward to working with the new administration in the time ahead in the cause of international peace and security.
In the statement, Kenny continues to say that he looks forward to pursing comprehensive immigration reform, calling it “an issue that is so important to tens of thousands of Irish people who are making a major contribution to America.”
