'Not an America I know': Churchill's grandson launches broadside against Trump

London: Winston Churchill’s grandson has voiced his dismay at Donald Trump’s apparent sympathies toward Russia, accusing the United States of a “deep and profound misunderstanding of the truth” in its foreign policy approach.

Nicholas Soames, a member of the House of Lords, was scathing of the US president’s recent actions at the United Nations, particularly following two votes where America sided with Russia.

He said it was “impossible … to take the president seriously”.

“How is it possible that America could have voted at the UN alongside Russia, Syria, the Central African Republic, North Korea and Belarus? How is that possible?” Soames asked Jennifer Ewing, representing Republicans Overseas UK, at a hearing of UK parliament’s International Relations and Defence Committee.
