Washington, June 2: US President Donald Trump on Sunday denied that he called Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, "nasty" and blamed the news media for making up the whole episode. "I never called Meghan Markle 'nasty.' Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold! Will @CNN, @nytimes and others apologize? Doubt it!" Trump said in a Twitter post, the Efe news reported.
Trump tweeted after the subject of Markle came up in an interview he gave to a tabloid ahead of his three-day state visit to the United Kingdom this week at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II. The US leader said he was not aware that Markle, a former actress who married Prince Harry in May 2018, supported his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and had vowed to shift to Canada if he won the White House.
