Former US president Donald Trump will visit Ireland next month.

It comes just weeks after his successor, Joe Biden, took part in a four-day visit to the island of Ireland.

There is speculation that the two men who went head to head in the 2020 US presidential election could be candidates again in 2024.

Bill Clinton, another former US president, was also a recent visitor to Northern Ireland, where he took part in a major conference to mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement.

Mr Trump has owned the Trump International Hotel & Golf Links outside Doonbeg in Co Clare since 2014.

It has been indicated that the resort expects the 76-year-old to land at Shannon Airport on May 3 for a stay.

The last time the former president visited Ireland in 2019 he was still in office.

There were some protests during that visit, but Mr Trump and his sons Eric and Donald junior also received a warm welcome in Doonbeg.

Mr Trump is currently facing court action in the United States.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records to hide damaging information before the 2016 presidential election.
