Donald Trump has said the Duke of Sussex was “not speaking for the UK” when he called for the US to show “leadership” on Ukraine – comments which came days before King Charles was due to meet the president.
Speaking on a visit to Kyiv, and without mentioning Trump, Prince Harry said the US should “show that it can honour its international treaty obligations – not out of charity but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability”.
Asked about the remarks, Trump said: “Prince Harry? How’s he doing? How’s his wife? Please give her my regards.
“I know one thing, Prince Harry is not speaking for the UK, that’s for sure. I think I am speaking for the UK more than Prince Harry.”
