Trump again defends Irish unification and says "a lot of people" support the idea

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 17:52

Donald Trump again defended Irish reunification this Sunday, stating that he considers it natural to join Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. The President of the United States said that "a lot of people" support this idea, without specifying who these people are or presenting data to support this claim.

Trump's position comes in a context of debate about the political future of Northern Ireland, a territory that is part of the United Kingdom but has maintained close ties with the Republic of Ireland, particularly since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.

When questioned about a similar topic regarding Scotland, Trump refused to comment, saying: "I'm not going to talk about that yet. I'm going to leave that for another day."

The article does not specify the circumstances under which Trump made these statements, nor does it provide additional details about the event or the location where the questions were asked.

Why this matters

Trump's return to this position on Irish reunification may have an impact on relations between the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and the United States, particularly in the context of the Brexit protocol for Northern Ireland. This position may also influence the internal political debate in Ireland and the United Kingdom on the future status of Northern Ireland.
