Trump turns to golf, family business on second day in Ireland
The US president caught his Irish hosts and neighbouring UK off guard on Saturday by saying he would 'love to see' a united Ireland.
On the second day of his visit to Ireland, US President Donald Trump shifted his focus to golf and promoting his business interests. The trip, which includes a stop at the Irish Open golf tournament, has drawn protests from demonstrators. Trump made headlines earlier in the visit when he suggested the possibility of a united Ireland, causing concern among pro-UK loyalists in Northern Ireland and some British politicians.
The US president's visit comes as he pushes business interests, with his sons managing the family's enterprises. Trump has been accompanied by 40,000 fans, with the security operation reportedly costing Ireland 20 million euros. The White House has denied any conflicts of interest, emphasizing that Trump's financial dealings are separate from his presidency.
