WELCOME news that US President Donald Trump is planning a visit over here in June.

He is due to visit Dublin, but the trip could be good for Britain — and maybe even for Brexit.

As our story today reveals, the US president has also been asked to visit Northern Ireland. It might not be an invite to the royal wedding but it could be the next best thing.

The Government should grab this opportunity with both hands to help us clinch a deal with the EU over the contentious Irish border issue. Avoiding a hard frontier remains crucial.

Mr Trump has the charisma and negotiating skills to get things done — as he has consistently shown. He has brought North Korea to the negotiating table with his hardline stance and tough rhetoric.

Whoever thought getting despot Kim Jong-un to talk would be possible?

He has stood up to IS in Syria and Iraq and his sustained bombing campaign has crippled the Islamist thugs. He has pushed through the most significant tax reforms in recent US history, boosting the US economy and the lives of ordinary Americans.

There will be those on the Left who will protest against him coming to Northern Ireland or dismiss it as a spectacle.

Donald Trump says that North Korea has promised not to conduct any missile tests during meetings with the president

Yes, we have had our misgivings about Trump, and he has rightly taken flak for some of his gaffes. But just as ex-US President Bill Clinton helped the peace process in the 1990s, Trump could yet help us solve the border issue now.

If he is successful, he will mark his place in the history books.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t go all Mexico on us and suggest putting up a wall!

Easter egg on their face

4 The PC brigade has been at it again... 'Easter' has been erased from the packaging of 70 million chocolate eggs

THE barmy politically correct brigade have struck yet again.

We reveal today that 90 per cent of Easter eggs do not contain the word Easter on the front packaging.

Supermarkets and chocolate makers claim that it has been removed to be inclusive. But this is muddled thinking.

Who on earth is going to be offended by a chocolate egg with Easter in the title? And what comes next? Christmas removed from Christmas pudding?

Time for some common sense.
