Andrew was stripped of his prince and Duke of York titles by the King over his links to Epstein last Thursday.
He lost his remaining royal titles after the posthumous publication of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir. Ms Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, accused Andrew of sexual assault in Aug 2021 in a case that was settled out of court.
She claimed she had sex with Andrew on three occasions after being trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the paedophile financier’s former girlfriend and close associate.
Andrew denies the allegations by Ms Giuffre, who took her own life earlier this year.
Following Epstein’s death in 2019, Mr Trump downplayed their relationship and said he had “no idea” about his crimes.
In September, however, it emerged that the US president allegedly sent Epstein a lewd drawing for his 50th birthday. Mr Trump signed the sketch of a woman’s nude silhouette, which contained a birthday message to the paedophile.
Mr Trump’s comments on Andrew came after a wide-ranging interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, one year after he sued the show over its editing of a Kamala Harris election interview.
In the interview the US president accused Russia and China of conducting underground nuclear tests unknown to the public.
“Russia’s testing, and China’s testing, but they don’t want to talk about it,” he said when asked about his surprise order last week for the US to begin testing nuclear weapons.
“You don’t necessarily know where they’re testing … They test way underground where people don’t know exactly what’s happening with the test,” Mr Trump added.
China swiftly denied the claim on Monday.
