U.S. President Donald Trump reiterates his support for Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and unify with the Republic of Ireland. In remarks reported by multiple outlets, he frames this as the “natural” outcome for the relationship between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Trump also says he would not address Scotland independence “yet,” indicating he is not offering comments on that issue at this time. Both reports present the statement as part of his broader approach to discussions of potential constitutional change within the UK and its constituent nations.
The two sources closely align on the core points: Trump backs unification involving Northern Ireland and Ireland, and he declines to comment on Scotland independence for now. They do not provide additional substantive detail on timelines, specific policies, or diplomatic steps, focusing instead on his high-level remarks about these separatist outcomes.
