Trump Comments on Irish Unity Show Debate Is ‘Very Much Alive’: Michelle O’Neill
Trump said Irish unity will happen eventually as Northern Ireland’s first minister called the debate very much alive.
- On Monday in Cardiff, SNP leader John Swinney, Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth, and Sinn leaders Neill and Mary Lou McDonald signed a memorandum of understanding calling on the government to "prepare for, plan and facilitate constitutional change."
- The group stated plans to "reject Whitehall's broken economic model" and expand cooperation on energy and growth, asserting that "the future of our nations belongs in the European Union" as they pursue self-determination.
- Asked about United States President Donald Trump's remarks favoring Irish unity, Neill said they reflect that the debate is "very much alive," describing unification as the "big prize" and "new beginning" for the people of Ireland.
- Swinney argued that Scotland faces "obstruction" from the United Kingdom government, which has "repeatedly rejected" calls for another referendum, asserting the Scottish people are entitled to "decide their own future."
- Emphasizing that "momentum is behind our movements," the leaders stated that no Westminster government has the right to block democracy or undermine the principle that their people will decide their own future.
