US President Donald Trump’s second state visit to the UK has sparked political controversy in Northern Ireland. Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly is attending, but First Minister Michelle O’Neill has refused, citing Trump’s stance on Gaza.

In this episode, we debate:

  • Is Sinn Féin right to boycott Trump?
  • Does Michelle O’Neill’s decision strengthen her base or risk losing influence?
  • How Emma Little-Pengelly’s attendance could reshape DUP’s image.
  • Comparisons with John Swinney meeting Trump over whisky tariffs.
  • What this means for Northern Ireland’s global reputation and US investment.

With sharp analysis from Michael McKernan, Timothy, and David, we unpack the political, diplomatic, and electoral stakes.

👉 What do you think: Was O’Neill right to boycott? Send us your thoughts on email: [email protected]
