I met with then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in Washington DC last February, when we had the opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues, including the position of undocumented Irish citizens living in the US, the bilateral trade relationship and the Middle East Peace Process. I also briefed Secretary of State Tillerson on developments in Northern Ireland and on Brexit.

I have not yet had the opportunity to meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo but look forward to meeting with him in due course and to continuing the good discussions I had with his predecessor in February.
