Trump Supports Irish Reunification Amid Reactions from Ireland and UK OfficialsPreviousNext

During his visit to Ireland, US President Donald Trump expressed support for Irish reunification, calling it "fantastic" and suggesting it could happen soon. His remarks drew protests and reactions from Irish and UK officials, who emphasized that any change depends on majority consent under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin described some responses as overreactions, while UK leaders maintained there is no current basis for a border poll. Trump declined to comment on Scottish independence, postponing that discussion.
