What happened

President Donald Trump answered a few reporter questions while departing the residence of the President of Ireland in Dublin on September 12, 2026, according to the White House broadcast. Asked about new concerns involving Saudi Arabia, Trump said “everything will work out just fine,” as stated in the exchange.

Asked about Irish households paying more for home heating oil, Trump said prices would come down if the UK opened up the North Sea, urging that the “great North” be opened so “your prices go way down,” according to his remarks.

Why it matters

Even in a one-minute departure exchange, Trump used the Ireland stop to press his energy message abroad — North Sea development as the answer to European heating costs — and to project calm on Saudi Arabia.
