Details: A journalist said to the US president that, according to Prince Harry, Trump should be making more effort to stop the Russo-Ukrainian war.
"Prince Harry? How is he doing? How is his wife? Please give her my regards," Trump said.
The journalist asked whether Trump considers such comments appropriate from a member of the British royal family ahead of King Charles's visit to the US.
"Prince Harry is not speaking for the UK, that's for sure. I think I am speaking for the UK more than Prince Harry," Trump stated in response.
Background:
- Prince Harry arrived in Ukraine on 23 April for his third visit to the country.
- Speaking at the Kyiv Security Forum, the prince called on the US to demonstrate its leadership as one of the guarantors of the Budapest Memorandum.
- "This is a moment for American leadership, a moment for America, to show that it can honour its international treaty obligations – not out of charity but out of its own enduring role in global security and strategic stability," he said.
