President Donald Trump says Britain\u2019s Prince Harry and his fiancee, American actress Meghan Markle, look like a \u201clovely couple\u201d and he doesn\u2019t know if he\u2019s been invited to their May wedding.<\/p>\n
Trump also told Britain\u2019s ITV News in an interview to be broadcast today that his administration might not withdraw from the Paris climate accord if terms more favourable to the United States are reached, in part because he likes French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n
The interviewer, veteran British journalist Piers Morgan, told the US leader that Markle backed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and has described Trump as \u201cdivisive.\u201d \u201cWell, I still hope they\u2019re happy,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
The interview was conducted on Thursday during Trump\u2019s brief visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.<\/p>\n
In excerpts released earlier by ITV, the president apologised for retweeting videos made by a British far-right group and said he looked forward to visiting Britain, where he has been invited to make a state visit hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n
The guest list for Harry and Markle\u2019s May 19 wedding at Windsor Castle has not been made public. The prince\u2019s press team said invitations have not been sent out yet. It is not clear if a final list has been drawn up.<\/p>\n
The British press has been filled with speculation that Harry might snub Trump and invite former US President Barack Obama as a wedding guest. The prince and Obama have met on several occasions, and Obama gave Harry a rare interview last year that was broadcast on the BBC.<\/p>\n
Trump, in contrast, has angered many people in Britain with his crackdown on immigration and his climate change policies.<\/p>\n
During his interview with Morgan, Trump deflected a question asking if he would like to attend the wedding festivities at St. George\u2019s Chapel, saying only that he hoped the couple is happy.<\/p>\n
He seemed open to revisiting his pledge to withdraw from 2015 Paris climate accord if the deal could be substantially revised. Under the pact, nations set their own goals to reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases. Because of legal technicalities America can\u2019t get out until November of 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf somebody said, go back into the Paris accord, it would have to be a completely different deal because we had a horrible deal,\u201d Trump said in the interview.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould I go back in? Yeah, I\u2019d go back in. I like, as you know, I like Emmanuel (Macron). I would love to, but it\u2019s got to be a good deal for the United States.\u201d Trump said the climate has been cooling as well as warming and asserted that ice caps have not been shrinking as predicted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they\u2019re setting records,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
