Trump backs united Ireland during two-day visit

This is the evening edition of the One News Page Global Briefing, for Sunday, the thirteenth of September, twenty twenty-six. Here is what matters now.

President Donald Trump is in the middle of a two-day visit to Ireland that mixes official talks with Irish leaders and attendance at the Irish Open at his golf club in Doonbeg. He arrived on Saturday and is expected to spend Sunday watching the tournament, with no diplomatic outcome yet completed. During the visit, Trump publicly endorsed Irish unification. On Saturday he said he would "love" to see a united Ireland and that it "may as well happen now." On Sunday he doubled down, brushing off criticism from British politician Andy Burnham, who opposed a referendum, with the remark, "Everybody says that. Then things happen," and adding that "many people agree" with his view. The comments mark an unexpected intervention while the trip is still under way.

In the United States, U S Representative Tom Tiffany, a Wisconsin Republican who is running for governor, survived an emergency landing late Saturday when the light aircraft he was traveling in lost power on approach to Wausau's downtown airport and came down on a lake. Authorities attributed the forced landing to a mechanical issue. Tiffany said he was returning from the La Crosse county Lincoln Day Dinner. He and the pilot escaped the sinking plane, swam to shallow water and called nine hundred and eleven from on top of the aircraft. No serious injuries were reported.

In tennis, Elena Rybakina defeated two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka six-four, five-seven, six-two in the U S Open women's singles final on Saturday to win her first U S Open title and her third Grand Slam crown overall. The victory also lifts Rybakina to world No. one. Sabalenka, the top seed, showed her frustration by smashing a racquet during the match. Rybakina's path to the title included wins over Naomi Osaka, Zheng Qinwen and Coco Gauff.

In Indonesia, a passenger ferry carrying more than two hundred and forty people sank in the Java Sea on Sunday amid bad weather, Indonesian officials said. At least six people have died and about one hundred and thirty passengers and crew remain missing. Search-and-rescue operations are under way. The vessel lost contact before sinking, and officials say the bad weather contributed to the disaster.

Meanwhile, in California, a trespasser was stopped at the Malibu home of former vice-president Kamala Harris on Friday night, law enforcement officials and a spokesperson for Harris said. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not at home at the time. Deputies responded to the property. No arrests were made, and officials did not disclose the trespasser's identity or motive.

In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis has offered "asylum" to the unidentified holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial if the juror faces harassment. The offer followed reports that the juror once faced a criminal charge related to an alleged domestic-violence incident in twenty twenty-one and is under an active restraining order. DeSantis said Florida would "welcome" the juror. A fellow juror described the holdout as a Black man and revealed details of the panel's deliberations.
