During his visit, McGregor began answering questions from the press and trashed the Irish government.
“Our government abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland. Our money is being spent overseas on issues that have nothing to do with the Irish people. It’s time the people in America are made aware of what’s going on Ireland, what is going on Ireland is a travesty. Our government is a government with zero action and zero accountability”
The UFC superstar told the media that he had hoped Trump would help the people of Ireland.
“Ireland and America, we are siblings. It’s important for Ireland to be a peaceful and prosperous country for 40 million Irish Americans to have a place to visit, to come home. We wish for our relationship with the U.S. to continue. The U.S. should look after its little bro.”
“OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ABANDONED THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE.”
