Trump Supports Irish Unification; UK Leaders Maintain Referendum Off the Table
During his visit to Dublin, US President Donald Trump expressed support for a united Ireland, stating he would "love" to see Irish unification and believes it will happen eventually. He acknowledged that the UK would have a say in the matter. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Downing Street maintain that a referendum on Irish unity is not currently supported by a majority and remains off the table. Trump's remarks drew criticism from Northern Ireland unionists, who emphasized that the region's future should be decided by its people.
