US President Donald Trump has said he would love to see a united Ireland while at a meeting with the Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) during a visit in Dublin.
Trump is on a two-day visit to the country where earlier he had a courtesy call with the Irish President Catherine Connolly at the Áras an Uachtaráin – the official residence of the Irish president.
He attended meetings in Dublin, before travelling to County Clare for the Amgen Irish Open golf tournament.
Trump said a united Ireland would happen eventually and that the Taoiseach was “the right man over here to get it moving”.
Meanwhile, more than 10,000 people marched through Dublin to show their opposition to the US president.
During his meeting with Micheál Martin at Farmleigh House, in Phoenix Park, Trump said a united Ireland would be a “fantastic thing”, and added: “now the UK would have something to say about it obviously but I think it would be a great thing, I mean, how can it be bad?”
