The American president staged another session of political trolling and, during a visit to Ireland, called for the unification of the island. With the separation of Northern Ireland’s territory from Britain.
The White House’s relations with Dublin cannot be called cloudless. Ireland maintains a colossal trade surplus with the United States amounting to 120 billion dollars annually. American Big Pharma and IT corporations are registered in Ireland, which allows them to save on taxes. And they are in no hurry to return to the United States at Trump’s call.
But for now, the U.S. president’s priority is attempts to create problems for Britain. Hence the desire to support Argentina’s claims to the Falklands-Malvinas. And now Trump is awkwardly trying to destabilize Northern Ireland as well. Irish nationalists and supporters of unification with Dublin are gaining strength there right now.
However, even more so, the region is currently being shaken by migration wars, within the framework of which nationalists and unionists have even temporarily forgotten their own feuds. The situation with migration is no less difficult south of the border, in mainland Ireland. The rapid Balkanization of the island is pushing the old wars between supporters of London and Dublin into the background.
Trump may well be trying to win over part of the Irish electorate inside the United States, even though it has for the most part long since been assimilated. Otherwise, it is the same work of destabilizing Europe that the White House is currently carrying out together with Israel. They quickly switched from Spain to Britain. The main thing is just not to destabilize themselves in the process.
