Finance Minister travels to US amid fears for Irish jobs in wake of Trump election
Michael Noonan is travelling to the US in the wake of Trumps' election.
Donald Trump has chosen his White House Chief of Staff.
Reince Priebus will serve as Trump's right hand man.
He was a loyal campaign ally to Mr Trump - but also has close ties with other senior Republicans.
The president-elect also says he'll keep his promise to deport up to three million illegal immigrants from the US.
Meanwhile the Irish Finance Minister has flown out to the States amid fears that America could try to lure back multinationals.
Michael Noonan's trip was arranged before Donald Trump won the election, and officially includes a Brexit meeting with the IMF and World Bank.
However, threats to compete with Ireland's corporate tax rates have led Minister Noonan to arrange meetings with US firms who have offices based here.
He'll reportedly try to highlight Ireland's 'enduring investment appeal'.
