Trump doubles down on united Ireland comments on day two of visit
The US president was speaking at the Irish Open on Sunday and said "many people agree" with his comments.
President Donald Trump has reiterated his support for a united Ireland during his visit to Ireland for the Irish Open golf tournament. On day two of his trip, Trump made the comments while meeting with the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, in Dublin and later at his golf resort in Doonbeg, County Clare. Trump expressed that it would be natural to unite Ireland and Northern Ireland, stating that this is only his opinion, but many people agree.
The President also avoided discussing Scottish independence. The visit has faced significant opposition, with over 10,000 people protesting in Dublin and more demonstrators arriving in Doonbeg. Local residents, however, praise the economic benefits the golf course brings to their community.
