After his meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin tells Power & Politics in an exclusive broadcast interview that U.S. tariffs have created a ‘significant urgency’ to expand trade with Canada, and that Ireland will be a ‘friend in court’ to help Canada grow its relationship with Europe when it takes the EU presidency in 2026.
