Ireland is expected to be one of the most affected countries when President Trump announces a new round of tariffs later this week.
EU goods are expected to face a tariff of about 20% when entering the United States.

In 2024, Irish goods exports to the US were worth €73bn (£61bn), almost a third of the country’s total exports.
I have no expertise, but I’m guessing that the world will adjust faster than expected and just start trading more with each-other and leave the US to rot on it’s own.
Our other trade partner also went batshit about 10 years ago and made it a lot more difficult to trade with them.
Life’s lonely as a relatively norma neutrall northern-hemisphere anglophone state.
