UK’s Prince Harry: Donald Trump Has 'Blood on His Hands'
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Britain’s Prince Harry blasted US President Donald Trump in a secretly recorded phone conversation, saying he "has blood on his hands" and is one of the "sick people" running the world.
Russian hoaxers telephoned the prince at his luxury hideaway in Canada on two separate occasions earlier this year and duped him into believing he was chatting with environmental activist Greta Thunberg and her father, Svante.
In the bombshell conversations, Harry hit out at Trump for his environmental policies, saying, "I think the mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands."
He later added, "Unfortunately the world is being led by some very sick people so the people like yourselves and the younger generation are the ones that are going to make all the difference."
Meanwhile, Harry also told the fake Greta that she could "outsmart" Trump - with whom she publicly sparred last year after he criticized her for being named Time magazine's "Person of The Year".
The two phone conversations between Harry and the pranksters took place on New Year's Eve and January 22, according to The Sun.
Russian hoaxers Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov — known as Vovan and Lexus - phoned the landline at Harry's luxury home on Vancouver Island where he is with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their son, Archie.
The duo allegedly pretended to be Greta and Svante Thunberg and were transferred through to the prince.
Back in December, the 16-year-old activist said talking to Trump at the UN Climate Change Summit in September would have been a waste of time since he would not have paid any attention.
Trump has dismissed climate change and is pulling the United States out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on global warming. Trump ridiculed the teenage activist in December after she was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019.
