Comments at Irish Open

Speaking to reporters during a visit to the Irish Open golf tournament, Trump repeated remarks he made in Dublin on Saturday.

“You have Northern Ireland and you have Ireland and it would seem to me that one of the naturals of all time is to put them together,” he said.

Scotland

Asked about Scotland, Trump said he would not address the issue.

“You asked about Scotland. That one I won’t talk about yet. I’ll save that for another day,” he said.
