The unify quote already ran. This is the other Dublin microphone.
Irish Examiner, 4:44 p.m. Saturday: Irish President Catherine Connolly, after a courtesy call of slightly more than 15 minutes at Áras an Uachtaráin, said she conveyed “the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted.” She said the U.S.–Ireland connection “allows us to speak openly to one another,” and that Irish people would support those who “build a shared peace.” Gifts: a St Brigid’s Cross and a book with Michael Longley’s sonnet Ceasefire.
Trump signed the visitors’ book: “A GREAT HONOR TO BE HERE THANK YOU.” He referred to Connolly as “he” when asked about her past criticism. He did not answer questions about their conversation. He did tell reporters the Iran war will end “very soon” and that the price of oil will “come tumbling down.” A quote is not a ceasefire. A quote is not Friday’s Brent $104.61.
Midday already used “I’d love to see it unified.” Do not staple this to a referendum. The UK still has something to say. This file is Connolly’s statement, not Belfast’s.
What this means for you
If you needed the unify line, that was 1 p.m. If you needed the 15-minute call, this is the unused quote. If you needed Hormuz open, wait for text.
Bottom line: She said war and genocide cannot be accepted. He said very soon. Neither is a deal.
