Such a snub risks damaging long-standing relationships with key political figures in the US.

It could also play badly with the wider Irish diaspora, many of whom are big supporters of Donald Trump.

Politically it will feel like the right thing to do given President Trump's previous threat to remove Palestinians from Gaza and attack on Ukraine this week.
