Donald Trump said he would "love" to see a united Ireland in an extraordinary intervention into one of the UK's most sensitive topics.
During a press conference with Micheal Martin, Ireland's taoiseach, in Dublin, Mr Trump said that a united Ireland was inevitable and would be a "great thing".
"Well, I don't want ⁠to cause any problems, but I will tell you, I'd love to see it unified," the US president told reporters.

Trump saying he would "love" to see a united Ireland is some intervention, particularly given the sensitivity of the issue and the fact that it is ultimately a matter for the people of Ireland to decide.

Whether you agree with him or not, his comments are bound to stir things up. A united Ireland is no longer some distant political talking point it is a very real conversation, and one that will probably become even more prominent over the coming years.

The interesting part for me is the word "inevitable." That is a pretty strong statement to make on an issue that remains deeply divisive.

Personally, I think any future constitutional change has to be decided democratically and with proper respect for both traditions. But Trump's comments certainly add another layer to an already fascinating debate.

What do people make of it significant intervention, or just Trump being Trump?
