Donald Trump 'got bored' when discussing Northern Ireland, book on former US president says

Donald Trump "appeared to get bored" when discussing Northern Ireland with ex-Prime Minister Theresa May, a new book on the former US president has claimed.

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman's much anticipated book Confidence Man also claims Mr Trump nearly fired his daughter. The book follows Mr Trump from his time as a New York businessman and details a number of his encounters with world leaders during his presidency.

On a meeting between Mr Trump and Ms May, the book says Northern Ireland was discussed but Mr Trump "appeared to get bored" and instead talked about an off-shore wind farm near one of his Scottish golf courses.
