Trump Ireland visit latest: US president says he’d ‘love to see’ a united Ireland while in Dublin
‘Now the UK will have something to say about it ... but I think it would be a great thing’
Unification of Ireland would be a “very cool thing”, Donald Trump said. The US President made the comments while discussing a question about Irish unification at a press conference at Farmleigh House in Dublin. Discussing the question, the US president added: “But they’re going for the kill at all times, and they ask me a question: ‘What do you think about unification of Northern Ireland and Ireland?’ “I said: ‘Oh, that’s a nice question’.
I gave a nice answer, I think. We’ll read about it tomorrow. “That’s one of those questions where, no matter what you say, no matter how well you say it, there’s no good answer, right? “There are about four or five, I could tell you some other ones, but I’m not going to get you started. “But that was one of the questions. But I actually said it would be, I think, a very cool thing. To be honest with you, I think it would be cool.
“As half the room clears out, they say: ‘Let’s get the hell out of here. I don’t like this guy. I liked him a lot 10 minutes ago. I don’t like him’.”
