Trump repeats support for united Ireland during Doonbeg visit

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

President Donald Trump is continuing a two-day visit to Ireland that combines official talks with Irish leaders with attendance at the Irish Open at his golf club in Doonbeg. On Saturday, he said he would "love" to see a united Ireland and that unification "may as well happen now," appearing to endorse constitutional change on the island. On Sunday he repeated his support, saying "many people agree" with his view and brushing off opposition from British political figure Andy Burnham to a referendum with the remark, "Everybody says that. Then things happen."

In tennis, Germany's Alexander Zverev defeated Ben Shelton six-three, seven-six, five-seven, six-two to win the twenty twenty-six U S Open men's singles title. It is Zverev's first U S Open crown and his second Grand Slam championship after winning the French Open earlier this year. The loss ended Shelton's bid to become the first Black man to win the championship since Arthur Ashe in one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight and the first American man to win the title since Andy Roddick in two thousand and three. Shelton had reached the final by beating Frances Tiafoe in four sets, while Zverev advanced by defeating Karen Khachanov in straight sets.

In the United States, Republican Representative Tom Tiffany, who is running for governor of Wisconsin, survived an emergency landing when the light aircraft he was traveling in lost power while approaching Wausau downtown airport and came down on a lake late Saturday. Tiffany was returning from the La Crosse County Lincoln Day Dinner. He and the pilot got out of the sinking plane, called nine hundred and eleven from on top of the aircraft, and swam to safety in shallow water. The forced landing was caused by a mechanical issue.

Also in the U S, a trespasser entered the Malibu, California, property of former Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday night and was stopped by law enforcement. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not home at the time, and no arrests were made.
