Stormont Split on Trump’s Visit

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.
