Trump turns to golf, family business on Irish visit's second day
DOONBEG (Ireland): Donald Trump turned his focus Sunday to golf and promoting his business interests, as he wraps up a two-day visit to Ireland during which his off-the-cuff diplomacy has caused another stir.
On the second day of his Irish visit, US President Donald Trump shifted focus to golfing and promoting his family business during his stay in Doonbeg, a town on the country's west coast. The president's presence at a local golf course, owned by his company, Trump Organization, was the main reason for his visit to the area. Security measures were tightened, with police checkpoints installed and around 30 protesters gathering outside the course's clubhouse.
Trump, accompanied by his two sons, met with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, where he expressed his desire for a united Ireland, a topic that has sparked controversy given the historically sensitive nature of the issue. The Irish government, however, reaffirmed its commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Northern Ireland.
