Donald Trump’s remarks abroad dominate the day’s world news, injecting US presidential commentary into long-running sovereignty disputes from Ireland to the South Atlantic. Elsewhere, authorities in France investigate a serious rail derailment in Normandy, while other developments are more domestic or celebrity-driven than international in scope.
Donald Trump says he would “love to see” a united Ireland and calls such an outcome inevitable during a visit to Dublin. He makes the remarks while meeting Taoiseach Micheál Martin, inserting himself into one of the most sensitive constitutional questions on the island as debate over Northern Ireland’s future continues.
Trump also says he could “settle” any conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falkland Islands if asked to help. His comments raise the prospect of US involvement in a dispute that remains politically charged decades after the 1982 war and central to British-Argentine relations.
French police investigate possible sabotage after a passenger train derails in Normandy, injuring 44 people, one of them gravely. The regional service carrying 186 passengers comes off the tracks near Cleon on Friday evening while traveling between Rouen and Caen, prompting an emergency response and a criminal inquiry.
A woman is seriously injured after falling about 30 meters from a cliff at Sublime Point in Leura in Australia’s Blue Mountains. Rescue crews mount an operation at the scene as responders work to reach and evacuate her from the rugged area in New South Wales.
