Trump defends his support for Irish unity despite U.K. uproar

U.S. President Donald Trump defended his comments advocating for the unification of Ireland, describing them as "fairly routine". This stance has stirred controversy in Northern Ireland.

He reiterated that his comment was merely his opinion and that he has received significant support on this matter.
