US President Donald Trump has met his Irish counterpart Catherine Connolly as part of his two-day trip to Ireland.
Mr Trump has also met with Irish premier Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach, at the Farmleigh Estate.
The US president has arrived amid what has been described as one of the biggest security operations ever implemented by the Irish police service (An Garda Síochána).
Presidents Trump and Connolly observed the national anthems of both their countries at Áras an Uachtaráin in Dublin’s Phoenix Park.
A guard of honour presented arms, with Mr Trump invited to perform an inspection.
Ms Connolly, who last year accused Mr Trump of being ‘volatile’ and ‘acting like a bully’, then escorted the US president as she introduced him to the Irish delegation in the Portico, and she was in turn introduced to the US delegation, including some of Mr Trump’s family, including son Don Jr.
The two leaders were then escorted to the state drawing room for a courtesy call.
Mr Trump was earlier greeted by Ireland’s deputy premier Simon Harris at Dublin Airport.
Former Irish premiers Bertie Ahern and Enda Kenny were among hundreds of guests arriving at the residence of the US ambassador to Ireland Edward Walsh ahead of Mr Trump’s arrival.
