We are already threatened with tariffs. It does not seem that the US is particularly concerned with Ireland's interests or the interests of the EU when it comes to tariffs. We are talking about tariffs of hundreds of percent being threatened. It does not seem to matter what we do or what we say with this US President. They are going to do what they are going to do.

What would be the reputational cost of Ireland resiling from making a decision on goods and services?
