Thousands of people demonstrated in Ireland against Donald Trump's visit, with The Irish Times reporting that those gathered on the streets were there to voice opposition to him. The protests accompanied the US president's trip, which included a stop in Dublin for diplomacy before he travelled on to his Doonbeg resort, according to RTE.ie.
The Irish Times also reported on a separate event during the visit, describing an address by Trump as meandering and noting that beauty queens, corporate figures and dancer Michael Flatley were among those present.
Trump's remarks on Ireland drew particular attention. The Washington Post reported that he endorsed Irish reunification, a position it described as a break from decades of US policy. The BBC reported that his comments on a united Ireland may have been aimed at an audience on the other side of the Atlantic.
