SF Leaders Will Not Travel To White House To Meet Trump

It's in protest against his foreign and domestic policies.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill will not travel to the White House to meet US President Donald Trump next month.

It's in protest against Trump's foreign and domestic policies.

In a post online, McDonald said: "I’ve thought deeply about this in recent days but I have made the decision to not attend the event in the White House on St Patrick’s Day as a principled stance against the calls for mass expulsion of the Palestinian people."
