Ireland: Trump says he would like to see the country reunified when meeting with Prime Minister Martin

Euronews Portugal12 September 2026 at 14:35

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, met with the prime minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin. During the meeting, Trump stated that he would like to see Ireland reunified.

Trump criticized Europe in several areas, including trade, energy, and immigration. The American president considered the relations with European allies "disappointing."

Trump's dissatisfaction is related to the European response to his war efforts with Iran. This position of European allies was classified by the president as unsatisfactory in transatlantic relations.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to the Portuguese reader because Trump's positions on Irish reunification and his criticisms of Europe can influence the US posture on issues that directly affect the political and commercial stability between Ireland and the United Kingdom, with possible repercussions on trade agreements and transatlantic relations that also involve the European Union, including Portugal.
