President Trump is in Dublin, where he met Saturday with Prime Minister Abin Hel Martin,

Trump caused the outrage when he suggested that Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, should be united, as in PR's Franco Ordon, just tells us." "He really did, set off, a bit of a political crisis here when he said that. This idea would be a terrifying one for Northern Ireland, and that was quickly apparent, as we heard almost immediately from Northern Ireland leaders, really rejecting this idea.
