During his visit to Ireland, US President Donald Trump stated during a meeting with the country's Prime Minister Michal Martin that he would like to see the unification of Ireland, and assumed that sooner or later it will happen. This is reported by The Guardian. According to him, the unification of the island "will happen eventually", so it "could happen right now". "I would like to see it united," Trump said, emphasizing that he has friends on both sides of the border and that they are "great people." The US president called the possible unification of Ireland "a great thing" and declared that it would be "a great achievement for everyone." At the same time, Trump admitted that Great Britain, perhaps, will also have its opinion on this issue. Speaking about possible political initiators of unification, Trump appeared to allude to Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin, declaring: "You have the right person here to push this forward." “I think that would be wonderful. I mean, how could it be bad," the US president said.
