'How can it be bad?' Trump in favour of united Ireland

US President Donald Trump expressed his desire for a united Ireland during a recent news conference with Taoiseach Micheál Martin at Farmleigh House. According to the source, the President stated that he does not seek to create any problems, but he personally would love to see the two nations unified. The President emphasized that he has friends on both sides of the border and questioned why anyone could be against such a unification.

Trump reiterated his support for the idea, stating that it would be a great feather in everybody's cap if that happened and that it's going to happen eventually. He also mentioned that he discussed the topic with Taoiseach Martin during their meeting, praising the Irish leader for potentially moving things forward. Trump added that while the United Kingdom will likely have its own perspective on the matter, he believes it would be a fantastic thing if the island became united.
