King Charles III presented President Donald Trump with the ship’s bell from the WWII-era British submarine HMS Trump during a state dinner at the White House. The gesture underscored the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and the U.K., despite recent diplomatic strains. The king’s visit included a speech to Congress, where he emphasized the importance of transatlantic ties and NATO’s role in global security. Trump, who praised the king’s address, noted the shared history between the two nations. The visit also marked the 250th anniversary of American independence, with Charles referencing historical ties, including the Revolutionary War. The king’s remarks included lighthearted nods to history, such as joking that Americans might speak French if not for British control of the colonies. The state visit followed a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which the king acknowledged in his speech, praising the resilience of the American people. The trip continues with engagements in New York and Virginia.
