Trump says he speaks 'for the UK more than Prince Harry'

US President Donald Trump downplayed Prince Harry’s recent comments calling for stronger American leadership on Ukraine, saying he speaks “for the UK more than Prince Harry.” The story centers on diplomatic optics ahead of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s four‑day state visit to the US, when they are due to meet Trump. Markets could watch for any easing of tensions in the UK‑US relationship, which Trump suggested his meeting could help mend. He also urged the UK to ‘open up the North Sea’ on energy and criticised UK immigration policy — remarks that, if echoed in policy, could influence UK energy stocks and broader investor sentiment toward UK assets.
