Stormont Split on Trump’s Visit
Update: 2025-09-18
Description
US President Donald Trump’s second state visit to the UK has sparked political controversy in Northern Ireland. Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly is attending, but First Minister Michelle O’Neill has refused, citing Trump’s stance on Gaza.
In this episode, we debate:
- Is Sinn Féin right to boycott Trump?
- Does Michelle O’Neill’s decision strengthen her base or risk losing influence?
- How Emma Little-Pengelly’s attendance could reshape DUP’s image.
- Comparisons with John Swinney meeting Trump over whisky tariffs.
- What this means for Northern Ireland’s global reputation and US investment.
With sharp analysis from Michael McKernan, Timothy, and David, we unpack the political, diplomatic, and electoral stakes.
