Trump vs Harry: Who Gets to Speak for the United Kingdom on Ukraine
President Trump dismissed Prince Harry's Ukraine speech, saying he was "not speaking for the UK," after the Duke made a surprise visit to Kyiv and urged American leadership to honour its treaty obligations to Ukraine. Harry, speaking as a former soldier and humanitarian, did not name Trump directly. The visit came days before King Charles begins a US state visit.
