DUP MP Ian Paisley has tweeted a picture of himself with the US First Lady Melania Trump in Washington.
With a broad smile, the North Antrim politician posted his selfie with the wife of Donald Trump at an event at the White House on Twitter.
The American First Lady is pictured in a vibrant emerald green, leopard-print shift dress, which was designed by Lady Gaga’s stylist, Brandon Maxwell, for the annual St Patrick's Day celebrations.
