Conor McGregor, the former UFC champion and candidate for the Irish presidency, has again made headlines – this time by blasting a newly signed EU-US trade deal and positioning himself as the only Irish leader who would stand up to both Brussels and Washington.
Conor McGregor SLAMS EU-US Trade Deal
Conor McGregor’s sharply worded comments respond directly to Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin, who praised the deal for bringing “stability and predictability” for Irish businesses, consumers, and patients.
The trade deal in question establishes a 15% tariff on most EU exports to the United States, a figure far less severe than the previously threatened 30%.
