King and Trump hail UK-US special relationship in banquet speech
King Charles III emphasized UK-US trade growth, support for Ukraine against European aggression, and environmental preservation during a banquet attended by 160 dignitaries, including tech leaders.
- On September 18, 2025, King Charles held a state dinner at Windsor Castle attended by US President Donald Trump, the couple formerly known as Prince William and Catherine, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, and prominent CEOs from the American technology sector.
- The banquet followed a landmark UK-US technology deal worth billions, reflecting deepening diplomatic and economic ties focused on trade, environmentalism, and shared security concerns.
- Both leaders praised the countries' historic alliance against tyranny, with King Charles highlighting support for Ukraine and Trump emphasizing the British Empire's legacy of law and liberty.
- Trump emphasized that describing the relationship as simply "special" falls short of capturing its true significance, while King Charles humorously referenced media efforts in the 1970s to strengthen ties and made a lighthearted comment about the president’s golf courses in Scotland.
- The event reinforced the “closest of kin” relationship and hinted at further trade breakthroughs, suggesting a new era of partnership with broad potential for growth and cooperation.
