President Trump's remarks in Ireland are making political waves.

President Trump is in Ireland this weekend during a bilateral meeting today with Ireland's prime minister. The president was asked a variety of questions from reporters, some of his comments making headlines. Here's Jen Sullivan. President Donald Trump touching down in Dublin Saturday. The purpose of the two-day trip to Ireland is for Trump to attend the Irish Open, which is being held at one of his properties, the Trump International Golf Links, Ireland. While it's not an official state visit, the president still met with Irish officials, including the president of Ireland and the prime minister.

Trump's visit drawing thousands of protesters in various cities across the Republic of Ireland, posing war in supporting Palestinian rights. But Trump was mainly shielded from the protests Saturday. But it's Trump's comments on Irish unification hitting a political nerve. The separation of Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, and the Irish Republic, which is self-governed, has drawn decades of violence and conflict between nationalists who want to see Ireland reunited and Protestant unionists who want to see it remain under British rule. Trump's comments were almost immediately met with pushback from the UK government and unionists. Northern Ireland has been a part of the UK since 1921. I'm Jen Sullivan, reporting.
