Donald Trump says a reunified Ireland would be “fantastic.” He made the comment during a weekend visit to Ireland for a golf tournament at the Doonbeg course that he owns. Trump met with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin. He expressed support for unifying the Republic of Ireland with Northern Ireland. The topic is sensitive due to historical tensions and violence. Previous U.S. presidents have avoided direct comments on the issue. Trump also met with Irish President Catherine Connolly. His visit sparked protests in Dublin, with some residents expressing frustration over the disruption. Trump’s son, Eric, defended their presence, saying the family is loved in Ireland.
