US Vice President Mike Pence had a somewhat inauspicious start to his visit to Ireland after he shared images of his meeting with the Irish President Michael D. Higgins accompanied by… the Ivory Coast flag.
“Thank you President Higgins and Mrs. Higgins for the warm welcome!” Pence said in a tweet that contained the flag faux pas.
It is an absolute honor to be in Dublin with @SecondLady! Thank you President Higgins and Mrs. Higgins for the warm welcome! 🇺🇸 🇨🇮 pic.twitter.com/CtTvSPGlUR

Having arrived Monday, Pence opted to stay in US President Donald Trump’s golf resort on the west coast of Ireland, despite the fact that all of his official meetings were taking place in the capital on the opposite side of the country.
