US President Donald Trump and King Charles III praised the long-standing relationship between their countries during a White House state dinner on Tuesday, despite differences over global issues.
Speaking at the event, both leaders highlighted the importance of the US-UK partnership, often described as a “special relationship,” and its role in global security and prosperity.
Trump used the occasion to comment on Iran, saying the United States would not allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons. He also claimed the British monarch shared his views, though there was no public confirmation of that.
In his remarks, King Charles focused on unity and cooperation, urging both countries to continue working together in a complex global environment. He also stressed the importance of alliances such as NATO and called for continued support for Ukraine.
The dinner was attended by several high-profile guests, including business leaders and public figures, as part of the British royal visit to the United States.
Despite recent tensions over foreign policy, both sides struck a positive tone during the event, underlining shared values and long-term cooperation.
The visit comes at a sensitive time, with ongoing conflicts and diplomatic differences, but leaders from both countries signalled a willingness to maintain strong ties.
King Charles is scheduled to continue his visit with further engagements, including a trip to New York, before departing later this week.
