http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-ireland-visit-20180911-story.htmlPresident Trump has canceled a planned trip to Ireland, the Irish government said Tuesday, amid promises of demonstrations to protest his climate policies, international relations and treatment of immigrants, women and minorities.
The visit had been projected for November, when Trump is scheduled to be in Europe for a French commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
