Ireland’s prime minister reportedly plans to discuss $6.1 billion in planned investments when he visits President Donald Trump at the White House next week.
Irish Taoiseach, or prime minister, Micheal Martin is expected to highlight billions of dollars in new investments in the United States during his annual St. Patrick’s Day visit to Washington — a trip that reflects how world leaders increasingly arrive at the White House ready to announce major economic commitments under Trump’s presidency.
Irish companies are preparing to unveil roughly $6.1 billion in planned investments in the United States, including major projects aimed at expanding manufacturing, construction, and data center infrastructure, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Among the investments, sustainable packaging giant Smurfit Westrock plans to commit about $5 billion over five years, while building solutions company Kingspan intends to invest $1 billion. Nutrition firm Glanbia is expected to add another $100 million.
Irish firms are also expanding projects tied to the booming U.S. data center industry, including work supporting Amazon facilities and other tech infrastructure.
Companies such as CEL Critical Power, H&MV Engineering, and Midland Steel are increasing operations tied to power systems, electrical infrastructure, and construction technology for major American data centers.
