President Donald Trump has arrived in Dublin, Ireland, to kick off his two-day visit to the Republic of Ireland.
The President was greeted by Tánaiste (Irish deputy prime minister) Simon Harris and Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee upon his arrival on Saturday, September 12.
He first briefly met Irish President Catherine Connolly at Áras an Uachtaráin in Phoenix Park.
After leaving the resident, President Trump stopped to answer some of the questions being thrown by the reporters present.
When asked about the situation in Iran, he replied, "Everything will work out fine."
Trump then made his way to Farmleuugh House to meet Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin for a bilateral meeting.
While sitting down in front of reporters, Martin paid tribute to those who lost their lives during 9/11, and remembers the "bravery and sacrifice" of first responders.
He said he's "particularly pleased" Trump has made it to Ireland for the Irish Open golf tournament, referencing a "very strong sporting relationship" between the two countries.
Taking questions from reporters, Trump shared that the Iran war will end "very soon", adding, "Probably right after the midterms."
He reiterates his position that "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon", calling it "very simple".
"Oil [prices] will come tumbling down when that happens," he said.
US has 'facilitated a peace of a kind' in Gaza, says Trump
The President was then asked what he would say to those in Ireland who say the US is facilitating genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation by Israel of territories in the West Bank.
"We put out the fire," Trump responded and added that the US got all of the hostages taken in the 7 October attack and returned to Israel.
He said that the US has "facilitated a peace of a kind".
Martin also said that he has discussed the need for ongoing humanitarian aid going into Gaza with Trump.
"We'll get that done, definitely," noted Trump.
It marks the start of his two-day visit, which will also see President Trump travelling to County Clare to attend the Irish Open golf tournament.
