Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland Leaders to Seek Independence Referendum RightsPreviousNext

Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are set to meet in Cardiff to sign a joint declaration seeking the right to hold independence referendums. This coordinated move by pro-independence parties aims to assert self-determination and push for constitutional change amid growing political support. The summit follows UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's indication that a Scottish referendum could be considered if public consensus emerges. US President Donald Trump also expressed support for a united Ireland, adding international attention to the issue.
