Taoiseach Micheál Martin will meet US President Donald Trump later today at the White House.
Before heading into the Oval Office, his day begins with breakfast at the Vice President, JD Vance's residence.
Micheál Martin has been tight lipped throughout the week on what his game plan is for the day.
Our Political Correspondent Seán Defoe says the world will be watching closely:
"While the mood music on this side of the Atlantic is pretty good with Trump having a peace deal in one hand and the keys to a new Tesla in the other, everyone in the Taoiseach's team knows it may only take one wrong move for things to go very wrong today."
