Trump hints at Irish unity, but timeline for border poll remains unchanged
During a Doonbeg visit, Donald Trump said a united Ireland will happen and he would love to see it, a remark analysts view as possibly aimed at Irish‑American voters. It does not alter the border-poll process or Good Friday Agreement mechanics; only the UK government can trigger a poll, and no threshold is defined. Unionists and UK officials downplayed the remark, while unity advocates may try to use it as momentum.
