TRUMP: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE UNITED IRELAND

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 12 /SRNA/ - US President Donald Trump stated during his visit to Dublin that he would like to see united Ireland.

Trump said the reunification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland "will happen eventually, and it can happen now," PA Media reported.

In his address to the reporters, alongside Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, Trump said he did not want to cause any problems but would like to see Ireland reunited.

Earlier this year, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham sparked a political dispute on the island of Ireland when he said a referendum on reunification was not possible.

Under the terms of the 1998 Belfast Agreement, the UK Secretary of State can decide to hold a referendum.

The citizens of the Republic of Ireland would also have to vote for the necessary constitutional changes.
