Trump Supports Irish Unification; UK Prime Minister Maintains No Referendum Plans
During his visit to Ireland, US President Donald Trump expressed support for a united Ireland, stating he would "love" to see Ireland and Northern Ireland unify and that it would happen eventually. He acknowledged that the UK would have a say in the matter. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham maintained that there is currently no majority public support for another referendum on Irish unification, and thus no plans for one. The issue remains politically sensitive under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which outlines conditions for a border poll.
