US President Donald Trump has said that he would “love” to see Ireland unified and that “it may as well happen now” as it is “going to happen eventually”. Mr Trump's remarks come as the US President kicked off his visit to Ireland by meeting Irish President Catherine Connolly, a vocal critic of his administration, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin. Speaking while sitting alongside Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Mr Trump said: “Well, I don’t want to cause any problems, but I will tell you I’d love to see it unified. “I have friends on both sides, great people.
