Why Trump's united Ireland stance hit such a nerve

Irish golfer Shane Lowry secured victory at the Irish Open, celebrating with the trophy at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland. Simultaneously, President Trump maintained his support for a united Ireland during a two-day visit. This stance sparked backlash from British and unionist politicians while receiving praise from Irish nationalists. Trump's position deviates from the traditional U.S. presidential convention of neutrality regarding Northern Ireland, a policy previously upheld by Former President Clinton and the Good Friday Agreement.
