He believes Ireland is particularly vulnerable to a trade war
It's claimed the trade war with the US could be one of the biggest economic threats to the state in the last 20 years.
Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín says the Government must get far closer to the senior US administration to protect Irish industry.
He also wants Ireland to have more influence on the EU's response to Donald Trump's threat to impose 200 per cent trade tariffs on EU alcohol.
Deputy Tóibín says this country would be particularly vulnerable to a trade war.
