Trump defends that Irish reunification "will eventually happen"

SIC Notícias12 September 2026 at 15:21

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, defended that Irish reunification "will eventually happen," considering it would be "a fantastic thing." The statements come in the context of a broader debate about the political future of the island of Ireland.

Trump acknowledges, however, that reunification will not depend solely on the will of one of the parties. According to the American President, the United Kingdom will also have a say in any process that leads to the reunification of the island.

This position of Trump comes at a time of political tensions in Northern Ireland, where issues such as the border and the relationship with the Republic of Ireland continue to generate debate. The reunification of Ireland, separated between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland since 1921, is a recurring theme in Irish politics.

Why this matters

Trump's position on Irish reunification may influence relations between the United States and the United Kingdom, in addition to having diplomatic implications for Ireland and for European politics in general. This statement comes in a context of ongoing debate about the future political status of Northern Ireland.

The time we steal from teachers

An opinion article analyzes the impact of bureaucracy on the work of Portuguese teachers, citing data from the OECD's TALIS 2024 study which reveals that 79% of lower secondary teachers identify excessive administrative work as a source of stress. The text highlights that, although teachers work an average of 40.5 hours per week, only 2.8 hours are dedicated to administrative tasks, but these cause stress due to their fragmentation and interruption of essential tasks. The article proposes measures such as reviewing non-teaching tasks, eliminating duplicate information and unnecessary reports, warning that digitizing old forms does not solve the underlying problem. Only 4% of surveyed teachers feel their opinions are valued by policymakers.
