US has 'no closer friends than the British,' Trump tells King Charles III at White House ceremony
US President Donald Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House, calling the UK America's closest friend and reaffirming the 'special relationship' between the nations amid ongoing tensions over the Iran war and trade disputes. The visit includes a private Oval Office meeting and King Charles's upcoming address to US Congress, the first by a British monarch since 1991. Despite the ceremonial warmth, US-UK relations have been strained by Trump's criticism of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and threats of tariffs on British goods. The trip is part of the US semiquincentennial celebrations marking 250 years of independence from Britain.
