Former US President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by suggesting that if Prince Harry lied on his visa application about drug use, he would pursue “appropriate action” if elected president in November.
Trump made these remarks during an interview with British right-leaning media outlet GB News, hosted by Nigel Farage, a frequent critic of Prince Harry.
In the interview, Trump did not rule out the possibility of Prince Harry being forced to leave the United States if it was found that he had lied on his visa application regarding drug use.
US visa applicants are required to disclose any history of drug use, and providing false information can lead to penalties, including deportation.
Prince Harry, who has been residing in California since 2020, publicly acknowledged past illegal drug use in his memoir “Spare.” Following this admission, the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against the US Homeland Security Department, seeking access to Harry’s immigration records.
A recent court ruling in the case determined that details related to Prince Harry‘s visa application should be provided to the court.
This decision has raised speculation about the potential consequences for Prince Harry if any discrepancies are found in his visa application regarding drug use.
Trump’s comments add fuel to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Prince Harry’s immigration status and raise questions about the potential legal ramifications he may face if it is discovered that he provided false information on his visa application.
The situation underscores the complexities of immigration laws and the importance of accurately disclosing relevant information on visa applications. As the legal proceedings unfold, the outcome could have significant implications for Prince Harry’s residency status in the United States.
