Watch live: Trump participates in annual Shamrock Bowl presentation

President Trump and Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin will participate in the annual Shamrock Bowl presentation on Tuesday afternoon at the White House.

The St. Patrick’s Day tradition, which began during the Truman administration in 1952, is meant to symbolize the enduring diplomacy between the U.S. and Ireland. During the event, Martin will present Trump with a bowl of shamrocks.

The two leaders also met for a bilateral earlier Tuesday as the president pressures NATO allies to join the U.S. in policing the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The duo also joined lawmakers for a Friends of Ireland luncheon in the afternoon.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 5:20 p.m. EDT.
