  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to see a unified Ireland, stating that it would be \"a fantastic thing\" and \"a great feather in everybody's cap\". He made these remarks during a visit to Dublin, where he met with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, before travelling to his golf course in the west of Ireland.\n\nTrump suggested that reunification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which have been split since 1921, was inevitable and might as well happen now, although he noted that the UK would have something to say about it. The UK Prime Minister's office has previously rejected the idea of an immediate border poll, with Andy Burnham stating that it was \"off the table\".\n\nThe issue of Irish reunification is sensitive, with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement outlining a process for a referendum to be held if a majority in Northern Ireland favours joining the Republic of Ireland. According to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Trump made his comments while visiting the Irish prime minister in Dublin before travelling on to his golf course in the west of Ireland.",
