President Trump on Saturday received a rousing welcome at the members bar in Doonbeg, Ireland.
Trump arrived in Dublin on Saturday for a two-day visit to Ireland to meet with political leaders.
Trump met with Irish President Catherine Connolly and Taoiseach Micheál Martin early Saturday and said he would love to see Northern Ireland unify with Ireland.
Northern Ireland has been under British rule for over 100 years.
“I don’t want to cause any problems, but I will tell you, I’d love to see it unified,” Trump said during a meeting with Ireland’s prime minister.
Trump continued, “I have friends on both sides, great people. They’re Irish people. How can they be bad, right?”
“I’d like to see a unified country. I think it would be a great feather in everybody’s cap if that happened. It’s going to happen eventually,” he said.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham recently said the issue is off the table.
Later Saturday, President Trump visited Trump International Golf Club Doonbeg for the Irish Open.
Members chanted, “USA! USA!” as President Trump walked through the bar and shook hands.
