Conor McGregor made a special visit to the White House to speak to President Donald Trump.
The former two-division UFC champion was a guest at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday, and not only did he have a face-to-face meeting with Trump, he also had a chance to address the media and share his opinion on ongoing issuers in his native Ireland.
McGregor, who was born in Dublin, has been a vocal critic of the Irish government’s immigration policies, frequently writing political comments on his Twitter account and suggesting he could run for office in the future. During an impromptu scrum with reporters, McGregor shared his thoughts on Ireland’s relationship with the United States.
“Ireland and America, we are siblings,” McGregor said. “We consider America our big sibling, so it’s important for Ireland to be a peaceful, prosperous country, for the 40 million Irish-Americans to have a place to visit. To come back to their home. So we wish for our relationship with the United States to continue.
“We wish to be taken care of by the big bro. The United States should look after its little bro and that’s how we feel.”
