美国总统特朗普在访问爱尔兰期间，再次表达对爱尔兰统一的支持。特朗普在周日从位于克莱尔郡的多恩贝格高尔夫度假村发表言论，称"把他们放在一起是有史以来最自然的事之一"1。对于英国首相博纳姆关于公投条件的立场，特朗普回应称"每个人都这么说。然后事情就发生了"1。他进一步表示希望看到统一的爱尔兰出现，"不妨现在就发生"1。
根据1998年《耶稣受难日协议》，爱尔兰统一需满足相应支持度才能触发公投1。博纳姆在两周前曾表示公投"不在议程上"1。特朗普的言论引发了各方不同反应。新芬党前领导人杰里·亚当斯称特朗普的表态"反映了北美对爱尔兰统一的广泛支持情绪"1，而北爱尔兰民主统一党前议员伊恩·佩斯利则表示北爱尔兰"希望保持现状"1。
Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his backing for Irish reunification during a visit to Ireland, characterizing it as a natural development that "may as well happen now."1 Speaking from his Doonberg Golf Resort in County Clare on Sunday, Trump stated that "one of the naturals of all time is to put them together," referring to the island's unification.1
Trump's remarks directly challenged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's position on the issue.1 When responding to Starmer's assertion two weeks earlier that a referendum on reunification was "off the table," Trump dismissed the objection, saying "Everybody says that. Then things happen."1 According to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, Irish reunification would require specific conditions to be met before triggering a public vote, a threshold that currently does not exist.1
The comments have drawn contrasting reactions from Irish political figures. Former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams welcomed Trump's position, noting that his remarks "reflect the broad North American sentiment towards Irish unity."1 Conversely, former Democratic Unionist Party lawmaker Ian Paisley emphasized that Northern Ireland continues to "wish to remain" part of the United Kingdom.1
