Ireland’s prime minister welcomed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a handshake and a warm smile Tuesday while sporting a pair of Canadian-themed socks.
Irish Taoiseach (prime minister), Leo Varadkar was wearing socks with maple leaves and Mounties on them during a press conference with Trudeau in Dublin.
The socks commemorated Trudeau’s first official engagement in the Republic of Ireland since taking office. Trudeau wore a more subtle striped pair during the visit but is known to wear quirky socks, such as ones with Star Wars characters.
Varadkar gave Trudeau a soccer jersey with his name on the back as well as a pair of Irish socks.
The Canadian prime minister will meet Irish President Michael D. Higgins later Tuesday.
