The US President will host the Taoiseach at The White House later.

Leo Varadkar and Joe Biden will hold bilateral talks as part of the Taoiseach's annual St. Patrick's trip.

We are told Ireland's access to the White House for St. Patricks day is the envy of the world and today that'll be put to the test.

Leo Varadkar meets Joe Biden in the Oval Office and is expected to raise Gaza, Ukraine, Northern Ireland and the undocumented Irish.

The big question will be what Joe Biden's response is when the Taoiseach calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and will Leo Varadkar criticise America's support for Israel.

The morning begins with breakfast at the US vice presidents house, and the Taoiseach will also go to a lunch at the US Capitol host by Speaker Mike Johnson.

You won't see shamrock today though- the shamrock ceremony is on Sunday when Leo Varadkar and Joe Biden will pose with the famous bowl of green in The White House.
