Sinn Féin will boycott St Patrick’s Day events at the White House next month over US President Donald Trump’s stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

The party’s First Minister at Stormont, Michelle O’Neill, will not travel to Washington DC for the annual event.

There had been growing calls for the party to make its position clear, after the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) clarified it will not take part in celebrations if invited.

However, no invites have been officially issued yet.
