Prime Minister Leo Varadkar used a meeting with Trump, who has been a vocal supporter of Brexit, to underline Ireland’s concerns over the departure that could impact it more than any other country remaining in the 28-member bloc. Before meeting Varadkar, Trump said he expected the premier would ask him about Brexit and it would all work out “very well” for Ireland.
Nearly 3,600 people were killed during Northern Ireland’s “Troubles”, a sectarian conflict between mainly Protestant unionists, who want Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK, and predominantly Catholic Irish nationalists.
