Trump says united Ireland is ‘inevitable’

Irish reunification news

US President Donald Trump has predicted that Northern Ireland will eventually unite with the Republic of Ireland, drawing criticism from unionist political leaders who insist the region’s future remains firmly within the United Kingdom.

Speaking in Dublin following talks with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, Trump said on Saturday that he would “love to see” Ireland reunified and suggested there was little reason to delay the process.

“I think it would be a great feather… in everybody’s cap if that happened. It’s going to happen eventually. Might as well happen now,” Trump told reporters, adding that Martin was the “right man” to help advance the issue.

Trump acknowledged that Britain would inevitably have a say in any constitutional change but maintained that a united Ireland “would be a great thing.” He also praised relations between Washington and Dublin, describing Martin as a friend and saying ties between the two countries were stronger than ever.

Later, at the US ambassador’s residence, Trump conceded that his comments were likely to prove contentious, describing Irish reunification as an issue on which “no matter what you say, there’s no good answer.”

The president made similar remarks earlier this year when he floated the prospect of a “merger” between Northern Ireland and the Republic.



Northern Ireland has remained part of the United Kingdom since the establishment of the Irish Free State following partition in the early 1920s. Its constitutional position is governed in part by the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which provides for the possibility of reunification if a majority in Northern Ireland supports such a change. Under the agreement, the UK Government can call a referendum, commonly known as a border poll, when the statutory conditions are considered to have been met.

Trump’s comments prompted a sharp response from Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson, who argued that Northern Ireland’s current status reflects the democratic wishes of its population.

“President Trump knows better than most that elections matter,” Robinson wrote on X, adding that Northern Ireland would continue to choose membership of the UK and the security he said it provides.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham also rejected the prospect of an imminent vote during a visit to Northern Ireland last month, saying a referendum on reunification was “off the table.”

  1. Trump is insinuating the problem is the Corporation hostile takeover of 1707; “Act Union” with Irish (and earlier 1700 “Act of Settlement” with Scott’s).

    This Bank of England takeover incorporated Scotland to become Britain, then Ireland to become Great Brittain.

    Trump is saying The ‘Crown’ tax slave system in perpetuity is the problem.

    Trump is abolishing Federal Income Tax in lieu of Tariff which were in place prior to 1913 Federal Reserve takeover.

    If Trump can end the Fed, the Irish can throw off the ‘Crown’ yoke, so can the Scott’s, and so can we.

  2. There may not be an Ireland to be re-united if Stump’s administration and its European co-horts keeps escalating in Iran and Ukraine, triggering WWIII. The UK which is a geographically close neighbour, of Ireland would be one of the first to be struck by ICBM’s.

  3. Can’t be having referendums under the fake democracy uni-party government system – that’s way too democratic and might actually reveal the will of the people.

  4. John DeLorean produced his DeLorean car (DMC) in Northern Ireland.
    What was amazing is that he had both Catholics and Protestants, Irish Republicans and British Loyalists working side-by-side to create an incredible car!
    HOWEVER-
    One you read John DeLorean’s book titled ‘On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors’, you begin to see the waste, graft and corruption operating deep inside the automotive manufacturing indistry.

    THAT is why DeLorean decided to build his car in Northern Ireland, and in doing so, he brought old enemies together for the good of a common product.

    So, DeLorean was ‘set-up’ Mossad-style to fail…

    The Zionist PTB couldn’t have that- they kept the IRA funded, and insured that the Zionist City of London funded Her Majesty’s Armed Forces during the time of ‘The Troubles’.
    HOW TO FIX THE IRISH ANIMOSITIES?
    1. Irish-based Catholics living in the UK swap their UK properties over to Loyalist Protestants living in Northern Ireland, and the latter Loyalist Protestants offer their Northern Ireland properties to the Catholics living in the UK..
    2. The Vatican and the Anglican Church coordinate these monetarily-equal property swaps, so that the ‘Migration Home’ is accomplished with the full cooperation of both the UK and Irish Governments.
    3. After the re-settlements have been accomplished, an FTA is established between Ireland and the UK.
    Ireland for the Irish, and Great Britain for the Loyalists.
    This was proposed a while back, but the City of London (Rothschild Masonic Illuminati Banking System) kicked-up a stink as this would have put an end to the violence, political and religious persecutions.
    Peaceful solutions never seem to come about when we know that ALL WARS ARE BANKSTER WARS!

    But now, with the entire world collapsing socially, politically and economically, would this even work???

      • The Irish tri-colour has green representing the Catholics, orange representing the Protestants and white representing a peaceful co-existence. The religious aspect only arises coincidentally, the big issues in Northern Ireland are those of displacement caused by the plantation and the desire for the descendants of the “planted” to be a part of Britain, and those displaced wanting to be part of Ireland.
        It’s not a religious conflict per se. There are plenty of Protestants in the Irish Republic. The Irish Republican movement was started by Protestants and had and has a lot of support from Irish American Protestants – and Catholics.
        ‘Tis a can of worms though.

        • Yes but whatever all religions are organized through Church doctrines dogma ecclesiastical ecumenical theories which are aligned and adhere to Judaism takeover and control
