Former envoy says Trump unity remarks do not change U.S. Ireland policy

Former Trump Northern Ireland envoy Mick Mulvaney said President Donald Trump's Sept. 12 comments favoring a unified Ireland do not change U.S. policy. Trump called reunification 'fantastic' during his two-day Ireland visit. Mulvaney said Washington remains committed to the Good Friday Agreement. The distinction matters, since personal preference carries less weight than formal policy.
