The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said that Ireland will be reunified "eventually", during a comment on the political situation in Northern Ireland. His statements were preceded by the expression "I don't want to cause problems, but...", suggesting that the topic is sensitive.
Trump acknowledged, however, that any change to the status of Northern Ireland would also depend on the position of the United Kingdom, acknowledging the complexity of the situation and the multiple parties involved in any potential resolution.
The reunification of Ireland would imply that Northern Ireland, currently part of the United Kingdom, would become part of the Republic of Ireland, which would represent a significant change in the island's borders and the political balance of the region.
The statements arise in a context of political tension in Northern Ireland, where questions about the border, identity and EU membership continue to generate debate, even after Brexit.
