Trump Targets Prince Harry Amid Election Controversy
As the U.S. presidential election approaches, Donald Trump has intensified his focus on Prince Harry, suggesting that if he wins, the Duke of Sussex could face deportation. This warning comes in light of a legal dispute regarding Prince Harry's visa application, which has garnered attention due to his admissions of past drug use in his memoir "Spare." Legal expert Hugo Vickers expressed concerns that Trump could leverage this issue to assert his authority, stating that Prince Harry is on "thin ice" given Trump’s history of criticizing him and Meghan Markle. The recent dismissal of a lawsuit aimed at disclosing Prince Harry's immigration records by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has not quelled the speculation surrounding his status in the U.S.
The stakes are high for the Duke, especially as reports indicate that he and Meghan have purchased a property in Portugal, which could serve as a backup plan should Trump follow through on his threats. However, this potential move raises questions about the couple's future, particularly regarding their children, Archie and Lilibet, and whether Meghan would be willing to leave the U.S. if Harry were deported.
Trump Campaign Accuses UK Labor Party of Election Meddling
In a separate but equally contentious issue, Trump’s campaign has accused the U.K. Labor Party of foreign interference in the upcoming U.S. election. This accusation arose after a Labor staffer announced a trip to the U.S. where nearly 100 party members would campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris in several key swing states. Trump’s legal team filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), claiming that this activity violates election laws, despite regulations allowing unpaid foreign volunteers to participate in campaigns.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer responded by clarifying that any Labor staff involved were acting in a personal capacity, emphasizing that their actions are consistent with past elections. The Trump campaign’s rhetoric escalated, labeling the Labor Party as a "far-left" group and calling for an investigation into the matter. This dispute could strain relations between Trump and Starmer, who has maintained a neutral stance in the election, aiming to foster a good relationship with whoever emerges victorious in November.
