Donald Trump has delivered a blistering verdict on Prince Harry after the Duke of Sussex made a surprise visit to Ukraine and called on the US President to do more to end the war. Trump dismissed Harry's comments, asserting that the prince does not speak for the United Kingdom.
Trump's Response to Harry's Appeal
When asked about Prince Harry's remarks, Trump initially responded with a sarcastic tone, telling reporters: 'How's he doing? How's his wife? Please give her my regards, OK?' He then added: 'I don't know. I know one thing, Prince Harry is not speaking for the UK, that's for sure. I think I'm speaking for the UK more than Prince Harry, that's for sure. But thank him for his advice.'
Harry's Surprise Visit to Ukraine
Prince Harry made an unexpected trip to Ukraine, where he praised the country for its 'brave' defence against Russian aggression. During his visit, he told his audience: 'This is a moment for American leadership' to step in and stop the war. His comments were seen as a direct appeal to the Trump administration to take a more active role in bringing the conflict to an end.
The Duke of Sussex's intervention has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that as a member of the British royal family, he should not be making political statements. Trump's sharp rebuke highlights the tension between the former president and the prince, who has been living in the US since stepping back from royal duties.
