BRITAIN/FOREIGN DIGNITARIES/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “US President Donald Trump told ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ in an interview aired Wednesday [6-5-19] that he spoke with Prince Harry during his visit to Buckingham Palace on Monday [6-3-19], but not about his comments on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex…When asked last week about Meghan’s comments in 2016 — before she was a royal — that she would move to Canada if Trump was elected, the President told British tabloid The Sun, ‘I didn’t know that she was nasty. I hope she is OK.’ Trump also defended his comments about the Duchess, made in an interview with The Sun newspaper on the eve of his three-day state visit to Britain. Asked by ITV whether he thought Meghan is nasty, Trump said: ‘They said some of the things that she said and It’s actually on tape. And I said, ‘Well, I didn’t know she was nasty.’ I wasn’t referring to she’s nasty. I said she was nasty about me. And essentially I didn’t know she was nasty about me.’”
