Washington [US]: The United States will not pay for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s security if they move to America, said President Donald Trump on Sunday.

Trump tweeted Sunday in response to reports that the royal couple had moved to Los Angeles.

I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay,” Trump tweeted.
