Despite enthusiasm from U.S. President Donald Trump for a united Ireland, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham remains steadfast in his position against pursuing an Irish unification referendum at this time.

Burnham, responding to lawmakers in the British parliament, reiterated his stance, noting the absence of majority public support for another vote on Northern Ireland’s future.

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister confirmed Saturday that Burnham’s views had not shifted following Trump's comments after a meeting with Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin.
