During a visit tied to Ireland, US President Donald Trump said he would 'love to see' a united Ireland, remarks that quickly became a major global headline. Analysts suggested the comments may have been aimed as much at a domestic Irish-American audience as at politics in Ireland or the UK. Separately during the same visit, Trump announced that the US will scrap its tariff on Irish whisky, months after previously reducing the tariff by five percent, a move seen as a further gesture of goodwill toward Ireland amid his trip.
