Simon Marks joins Matt Frei head of the King's state visit to see Donald Trump next week. They discuss his claim that Prince Harry “is not speaking for the UK” after he told the US to honour its obligations in the Ukrainian conflict - and that Trump 'speaks for the UK more than Harry'. Also, the White House unveils plans for an 'Arc de Trump' - the US president's 250ft monument which will be built to tower over Washington DC as the 250th anniversary of the country's independence approaches. This is taking place while Trump has ordered a resurfacing of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, and the ballroom renovations continue. Simon Marks says this is 'astonishing', given everything else happening in the world.
