King Charles and Trump Toast Ties Despite Iran Tensions

The leaders exchanged toasts as Charles urged NATO unity and support for Ukraine, while Trump praised the monarch’s speech before tech executives and lawmakers.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House with a 21-gun salute, where both leaders praised the "special relationship" between Britain and Washington.

  • Addressing Congress, Charles cited the British Magna Carta in more than 160 US Supreme Court cases, emphasizing democratic principles; dinner guests included Apple boss Tim Cook, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy.
  • Trump toasted the alliance, stating, "In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British," while Charles added, "Together, we can meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and contested world."
  • The royals will visit New York on Wednesday, touring the 9/11 memorial, before departing Thursday for Bermuda; Charles urged Congress to maintain "unyielding resolve" regarding Ukraine's fight against Russian invasion.
