When asked by reporters about Harry\u2019s speech at the Kyiv Security Forum, Trump first responded with irony, asking about the prince and his wife Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHow is he doing? How is his wife? Give her my very best wishes,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Trump then added:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOne thing I know for sure: Prince Harry does not speak for Britain. I think I represent Britain\u2019s interests far better than Prince Harry does.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Harry\u2019s appeal in Kyiv<\/h4>\n
Earlier on Thursday, Prince Harry unexpectedly arrived in Kyiv by overnight train from Poland. It was his third visit to Ukraine since Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion began in 2022.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Kyiv Security Forum, the 41-year-old Duke of Sussex urged the United States to fulfill its commitments to Ukraine made after Kyiv gave up the Soviet nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe United States holds a special place in this story \u2014 not only because of its power, but also because America was among the countries that guaranteed respect for Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and borders,\u201d Harry said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He stressed that now is the moment for Washington to reaffirm its commitment to international obligations \u2014 \u201cnot out of charity, but because of its role in global security and strategic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry did not mention Trump directly. At the same time, he addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that he \u201cstill has a moment \u2014 right now \u2014 to stop this war.\u201d<\/p>\n
A scandal on the eve of Charles III\u2019s visit<\/h4>\n
The exchange of statements came shortly before the planned state visit of King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the United States. The trip is scheduled for April 27\u201330 and is expected to include a state banquet at the White House as well as an address by the British monarch to Congress.<\/p>\n
Trump himself on Thursday called Charles III \u201ca friend of mine\u201d and said that he was \u201clooking forward to dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
The situation is further complicated by the ongoing immigration dispute surrounding Prince Harry in the U.S. It was previously reported that the State Department had found more than 2,400 pages of documents related to his visa. The possible release of these materials has been postponed until at least June 12 \u2014 after the royal visit is over.<\/p>\n
The Heritage Foundation has been seeking disclosure of the documents since 2023. The organization claims that proper vetting may not have been carried out when Harry\u2019s visa was issued following his past admissions of drug use.<\/p>\n
According to Newsweek, royal commentators believe that a public clash with the sitting U.S. president could further complicate Harry\u2019s position, as his immigration status in the country remains the subject of legal disputes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
