Dublin: US President Donald Trump said Sunday that integrating Ireland and Northern Ireland represents "one of the naturals of all time," suggesting historical partitions should be resolved. "I've always loved the people of Ireland and it just seems to me that you have Northern Ireland and you have Ireland and it would seem to me that one of the naturals of all time is put them together," Trump told reporters during a visit to Ireland, claiming "many people agree" with his thoughts.

According to Anadolu Agency, addressing questions regarding UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's position that no constitutional vote will occur without majority consent in Northern Ireland, the US president dismissed official resistance, saying: "Everybody says that, and then things happen." The comments follow pushback from London after Trump told a joint press conference in Dublin with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin that he would "love" to see a united Ireland and suggested unification "may as well happen now." Downing Street insisted that conditions required under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which mandates a referendum only when a majority in Northern Ireland clearly favors leaving the UK, have not been met.

The debate arrives as Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill, Scotland First Minister John Swinney, and Wales First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth are reportedly preparing to meet in Cardiff on Monday to discuss constitutional change and enhanced cooperation outside London's control.

Turning to energy policies, Trump argued that the UK must halt renewable projects and exploit fossil fuel reserves off the Scottish coast to avoid economic ruin. "If they open up the North Sea, the UK is going to be rich. If they don't open up the North Sea, the UK is bankrupt," Trump maintained, claiming international petroleum firms constantly urge him to support North Sea drilling while criticizing current imports from Norway and Denmark.
