On September 12, 2026, President Donald Trump expressed his support for the unification of Ireland. During a meeting at the U.S. embassy in Dublin with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, Trump shared his thoughts on the potential of the Republic of Ireland joining with Northern Ireland, which currently remains part of the United Kingdom.

Trump stated, “I don’t want to cause any problems, but I will tell you, I’d love to see it unified.” He added that such unification would be a significant achievement, remarking, “I think it would be a great feather in everybody’s hat if that happened.”

This statement reflects Trump’s opinion on the sensitive and long-standing issue of Irish unity. His comments may influence discussions regarding the future relationship between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The situation is ongoing, and further updates are expected as developments occur.
