Mitt Romney: Damage caused to Russia makes Ukraine investment worth it | Exclusive

Republican Senator Mitt Romney says he no longer recognises large parts of his party, because its “foundational principles” have changed under Donald Trump, who should not run for the presidency.

Mr Romney, who announced on Wednesday that he will not stand for re-election as Senator for Utah, sat down with the Telegraph in his Washington office for a wide ranging interview, discussing Mr Trump, Britain, Ukraine, China, and the Royal family.

The 76-year-old Republican grandee was his party’s nominee for president in the 2012 election, where he lost to Barack Obama. This week he said he wanted to step aside to allow for a younger generation of leaders and said that American politics would be better off if Joe Biden, 80, and Donald Trump, 77, did not run for the White House in 2024.
