  "account": "Donald Trump concluded his two-day visit to Ireland on Sunday by focusing on golf and promoting his family business. The US president initially waded into politically sensitive territory by expressing his desire for a united Ireland during his meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin. This announcement, breaking from Washington's traditional neutrality on the matter, drew criticism from pro-UK loyalists in Northern Ireland and some leading politicians in Britain. Despite the controversy, Trump attended the Irish Open golf tournament at his family-owned golf course in Doonbeg, County Clare, which is hosting the event. The course has faced previous threats from pro-Palestinian activists, and the security operation for the weekend was reportedly costing Ireland 20 million euros. Around 4,000 security personnel were involved in the operation, with measures such as anti-drone technology being implemented. Trump's attendance at the tournament adds complexity to the security efforts, with some estimates suggesting the event will draw 40,000 fans. The White House has denied any conflicts of interest, but opposition Democrats have long criticized Trump for blurring the lines between his presidency and personal business interests.",
  "summary": "The US president caught his Irish hosts and neighbouring UK off guard on Saturday by saying he would 'love to see' a united Ireland.",
