We have skin in this game because his efforts to undermine climate action will put us all at peril. We have an obligation during this visit to say to our Irish-American cousins: 'Whatever you do, please do not vote for this man'.

> Elsewhere, hundreds of protesters waved Mexican flags, chanted anti-Trump slogans and burned Trump hats and at least one American flag outside of the rally in San Jose, where Mr Trump, to the delight of his supporters, vowed to stop illegal drugs from coming into the US from the south, to build a wall on the US border and have Mexico pay the bill.
