  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump is focusing on golf at his resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, after making comments about Irish unity. Taoiseach Micheál Martin and three ministers will be attending the Irish Open alongside Trump. Britain's housing secretary, Angela Rayner, dismissed Trump's support for a united Ireland, emphasizing the UK's commitment to the Good Friday Agreement. A video showed Trump greeting the crowd in Doonbeg with \"USA, USA\" and singing The Fields of Athenry. Irish golfer Rory McIlroy noted the unusual experience of Air Force One flying over during the tournament. Despite a disappointing tournament for McIlroy, fellow Irish golfer Shane Lowry was leading into the final day. Trump downplayed reports of protests during his visit, stating he had not seen any. Thousands gathered in Dublin city center and Co Clare to protest Trump's presence.",
