Former President Donald Trump didn’t call for Prince Harry to leave the country

Recent Facebook posts would have some users think that former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy agenda includes dispatching Prince Harry back to Great Britain. 

But that overstates reality. 

"Trump calls for Prince Harry to leave U.S.," a March 20 post said. 

"Trump wants Prince Harry gone," another post said.

Four Florida counties had “zero results” Oct. 26, and “something underhanded might be happening.”

Both posts linked to a March 20 blog post recounting a March 19 interview Trump gave to former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage on the British GB News. 

Farage asked Trump questions about Harry’s visa application. A judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to submit the application to the court for review after the agency declined to cede it to The Heritage Foundation ,a conservative think tank, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The foundation questions whether Harry disclosed his past drug use on the visa application.

"If Harry lied on his visa application, doesn’t the truth need to come out?" Farage asked Trump in the interview. "Should he get special privileges that nobody else does?"

"No," Trump responded. "And we’ll have to see — if they knew something about drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,"
"Appropriate action," Farage said. "Which might mean not staying in America."
"Oh, I don’t know. You have to tell me," Trump responded. "You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago."

But Trump didn’t call for Harry to leave the country. 

We rate that claim False.
