Donald Trump says he will hold off on commenting on Scottish independence and plans to share his views “another day.” The remarks come after the US president is asked about Scotland following earlier comments related to Irish unity.
Multiple outlets report that Trump addresses the question in a conditional way. He says he would “love to see” Ireland unified, but he does not give a parallel statement on Scotland at the time of questioning. Instead, he indicates he is choosing to save any thoughts on Scottish independence for a later date.
Outlets largely agree on the sequence and wording: Trump is prompted to discuss Scottish independence after his remarks on Ireland, and he declines to expand on Scotland immediately. The coverage focuses on the contrast between his willingness to comment on Irish unity and his decision to defer his position on Scottish independence.
Overall, the reporting presents the exchange as a brief, on-the-spot response rather than a detailed policy or campaign statement.
