Ireland visit: Reunification and golf - Trump's controversial Ireland trip
On the side, US President Donald Trump raises the question of a reunification of the Irish island during his Ireland trip. The reactions are sharp.
US President Donald Trump ended his short visit to Ireland at his golf course in Doonbeg, where he also attended the final day of the Irish Open. His comments on a potential reunification of the island of Ireland had sparked controversy, with Trump saying it would be a "pretty cool thing" and that it could happen soon. The British government emphasized that it takes the 1998 Good Friday Agreement seriously, which outlines the process for a referendum on the status of Northern Ireland.
The agreement requires a majority vote in favor of reunification in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland for a constitutional change to occur.
