Conor McGregor meets with US president Donald Trump and Elon Musk

Conor McGregor has not entered the octagon in nearly four years, last appearing at UFC 264 in July 2021 when he suffered a broken leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier. Despite his extended inactivity from mixed martial arts, 'The Notorious' remains the biggest star in the sport.

That point was driven home once again on Monday as he visited the White House to meet with United States President Donald Trump in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. The former double champ also had the chance to meet with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The White House's official X account shared a photo of the meeting, captioning the post:

Taoiseach of Ireland reacts to Conor McGregor meeting Donald Trump

At the White House, Conor McGregor discussed Ireland's immigration policy, leading Michael Martin to respond. The Taoiseach of Ireland posted on X:

"St. Patrick’s Day around the world is a day rooted in community, humanity, friendship and fellowship. Conor McGregor’s remarks are wrong, and do not reflect the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, or the views of the people of Ireland."

McGregor later fired back, claiming that he employs more people in the nation of Ireland. He added that Martin and the government as a whole have failed the Irish people leading Dublin to go from one of Europe's safest to most dangerous cities. 'The Notorious' had previously teased that he plans to run for political office in his home country. However, it is unclear if he will follow through with those plans.
