美国总统特朗普周六在开启对爱尔兰的访问时表示，他乐见爱尔兰实现统一。此次访问期间，他将会见爱尔兰政界领袖，并在他旗下的一座球场出席一场大型高尔夫球赛。
在都柏林与爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁会晤期间，特朗普谈及爱尔兰共和国与属于英国一部分的北爱尔兰的统一问题时称，“现在就该实现统一了。”
“我不想引发任何问题，但我确实乐见爱尔兰实现统一。我认为这会是一件很棒的事，”特朗普补充道，“显然，英国方面也会有话要说。”

一个世纪前爱尔兰成为由天主教徒占多数的自治国家时，北部由新教徒占多数的六个郡地区仍隶属于英国。希望留在英国的新教统一主义者与希望与爱尔兰其他地区合并的天主教民族主义者之间的紧张对峙，引发了长达三十年的暴力冲突。
1998年的和平协议在很大程度上结束了这场暴力冲突——美国在该协议的达成中发挥了重要作用，但该协议并未解决北爱尔兰的最终地位问题。
特朗普周六还在都柏林与爱尔兰总统凯瑟琳·康诺利举行了会谈。之后，他将在都柏林的美国大使官邸发表讲话，面向美国和爱尔兰商界领袖，随后前往位于爱尔兰另一端的唐贝格海滨高尔夫俱乐部，观看爱尔兰公开赛。
部分居民对美国总统此行造成的交通 disruption 表示不满。
“他想跑去唐贝格打高尔夫，把这座城市搞得一团糟，”出租车司机克里斯托弗·福克斯明确表示自己并非特朗普的支持者，“全世界都陷入动荡，这家伙却在打高尔夫。”
大学生米娜·彼得罗夫斯基称，特朗普“对女性、移民以及整体少数族裔群体的态度令人憎恶”。她表示，“爱尔兰政府张开双臂欢迎他，这太可耻了。”
此外，一众左翼反对党、反军事组织、支持巴勒斯坦的团体、环保人士及其他人士计划周六在都柏林举行抗议活动，反对特朗普到访。

特朗普是一名狂热的高尔夫爱好者，经常在他旗下位于佛罗里达州、新泽西州和弗吉尼亚州的球场打球。此次他出席爱尔兰公开赛，延续了他现身高知名度体育赛事的趋势——而且他会以某种方式参与组织部分赛事，为家族企业牟利。今年，他位于佛罗里达州多拉尔和新泽西州贝德明斯特的俱乐部各自承办了职业高尔夫锦标赛。
爱尔兰公开赛是今年第二个在特朗普旗下产业举办的欧洲巡回赛赛事。上月在苏格兰阿伯丁的特朗普高尔夫球场举办了内克索锦标赛。
Trump says he would “love” a unified Ireland, as he kicks off visit that mixes diplomacy and golf

President Trump said Saturday he would love to see a unified Ireland as he kicked off a visit to the country, where he will meet with leaders and attend a major golf tournament at one of his courses.
During a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin, Mr. Trump said the unification of the Republic of Ireland with Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, “may as well happen now.
“I don’t want to cause any problems but I’d love to see it unified. I think it would be a fantastic thing,” Mr. Trump said, adding that “the U.K. will have something to say about it, obviously.”

When Ireland became a self-governing Roman Catholic-majority country a century ago, a six-county region in the north with a Protestant majority remained part of the United Kingdom. Tensions between Protestant unionists, who wanted to stay British, and Catholic nationalists, who wanted to join the rest of Ireland, led to three decades of violence.
A 1998 peace accord that the U.S. was instrumental in striking largely ended the violence but left Northern Ireland’s ultimate status unresolved.
Mr. Trump also held talks Saturday in Dublin with his Irish counterpart Catherine Connolly and will address the U.S. and Irish business leaders at the U.S. ambassador’s official residence in Dublin, before traveling to his oceanfront golf club in Doonbeg, on the other side of the country, to watch the Irish Open.
Some residents expressed annoyance over the disruption caused by the U.S. president’s trip.
“He’s causing mayhem in this city because he wants to go down to Doonbeg and play golf,” said taxi driver Christopher Fox, emphatically not a fan of the president. “The world’s in turmoil and this fella’s down playing golf.”
University student Mina Petrovski said Mr. Trump’s “attitudes towards women, towards immigrants, towards minority communities in general are abhorrent.” She said it’s “shameful that the Irish government is welcoming him with open arms.”
Separately, a collection of left-leaning opposition parties, anti-military groups, pro-Palestinian organizations, environmentalists and others plan to demonstrate against the president in Dublin on Saturday.

Mr. Trump is an avid golfer who frequently plays at clubs he owns in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia. His attendance at the Irish Open continues his trend of appearing at high-profile sporting events – and having a hand in organizing some of them in ways that benefit his family business. His clubs in Doral, Florida, and Bedminster, New Jersey, have each hosted professional golf tournaments this year.
The Irish Open is the second European Tour event to be held at a Trump property this year. The Nexo Championship was held last month at the president’s golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.
