US President Donald Trump, during a visit to Dublin, declared that he would like to see Ireland and Northern Ireland unified. After meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and President Catherine Connolly, he said that in his view unification would happen sooner or later. lidovky.cz ↗
Trump said he did not want his statements to cause problems, but at the same time described a possible unification of Ireland as a great success. He is paying a two-day visit to Ireland, during which he also attended events connected with golf. His stay was accompanied by protests. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The British side reacted dismissively to Trump's statements. London said that no referendum on the unification of Ireland would be held. According to a spokesperson, the British government's position remains unchanged, and in his view there is currently not enough public support for such a step.
President Connolly said after the talks that she had conveyed to the American president the attitude of the Irish population toward war and genocide. She emphasized that the normalization of war and genocide cannot be accepted.
Trump's words about the island's future thus came during a visit that, besides bilateral talks, also carried a significant domestic political and symbolic dimension. However, the further direction of the unification question is decided by constitutional procedures and the positions of the populations of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom.
