Donald Trump took a jab at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after being asked a question about the latter. He had urged the president to take steps toward ending the Ukraine war. Before slamming him for making what he described as “inappropriate comments” ahead of the visit, Trump also questioned how the royal couple was doing. These remarks come amid Prince Harry’s recent address at the Kyiv Security Forum. He said that the US should stand with Ukraine.
Donald Trump comments on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
The reporter recently asked Donald Trump about Prince Harry’s request to him to step in to help end the Ukraine war. To this, he replied, “Do you think it’s appropriate for a royal to make those comments ahead of the visit on Monday?” He initially asked how Harry is doing before also asking about his wife and giving him his regards. Taking a subtle dig at Prince Harry before appreciating his advice, the president added, “I think I’m speaking for the U.K. more than Prince Harry. But I appreciate his advice very much, great advice” (via The Mirror).
Prince Harry urged the American leadership to contribute to stopping the war. It was during his address to world leaders and high-ranking military officials at the Kyiv Security Forum. He believes that this is the moment for the US to showcase that it can “honor its international treaty obligations.”
He doesn’t want them to do it out of charity. But as a country that plays a prominent role in global security and stability. “The United States has a singular role in this story. Not only because of its power, but because when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons. America was part of the assurance that Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders would be respected,” he explained.
Moreover, he also pleaded to Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, to stop the war, as no one benefits from the loss of life. The Duke of Sussex represented himself as a soldier, a humanitarian, and a friend to Ukraine at the forum, who doesn’t want the international community to grow accustomed to a conflict or its lasting consequences (via The Independent).
