Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Ireland’s Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Simon Harris on a range of pressing global issues.  Both leaders expressed eagerness to work together to address our shared interests.  They discussed the U.S. priority to address the U.S.-Ireland trade imbalance and reaffirmed the importance of our partnership in addressing issues like Gaza, the conflict in Ukraine, and space cooperation.  They also discussed energy security and cooperation with U.S. companies operating in Ireland, two areas of increasing interconnectedness between our two nations.
