> During his visit to Ireland, Donald Trump said he would “love” to see the island united and that unification would eventually happen, so it might as well happen now. The remarks drew swift opposition from the UK government and Northern Ireland’s unionist leaders, who said the territory’s constitutional future should be decided by its people.
