Trump assures that the bond with the United Kingdom is “strong” and “will continue that way for a long time”

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, assured this Tuesday that the bond with the United Kingdom is “strong” and “will continue that way for a long time,” in a speech alongside King Charles III of England in which he praised the British Royal House and vindicated the relationship with London in contrast to his recurring criticism of the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

“The bond between the United States and the United Kingdom is strong, and I am very sure that it will continue that way for a long time in the future,” the North American leader assured the King of England, on an official visit to Washington with his wife Queen Camilla.

Thus, Trump has vindicated the relationship with the United Kingdom, a former metropolis until independence in 1776, of which the country celebrates the 250th anniversary this year, emphasizing that “in the centuries since independence,” “Americans have not had closer friends than the British.”

In this way it has underlined the common “root” with the British Isles. “We speak the same language, we hold the same values, and together our soldiers have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin flags of red, white and blue,” he said.

Likewise, he highlighted that Charles III will be the first British monarch to intervene in the Capitol and “will be placed in the heart of the United States”, in a joint session of the US Congress.

“He is going to address Congress, and I will be watching him. It is not usual according to protocol, but I will love to be there with you,” he noted, in a gesture of closeness to the British king.

According to Trump, if fathers of American independence like John Adams and George Washington, “or the king’s great-great-grandfather,” saw the scene, “they would probably be very surprised, if only for a moment.” “Surely they would be happy that the wounds of war were transformed into the most precious friendship,” he said.

Thus he has claimed that the “very difficult” war of Independence from “a long time ago” is behind us and the wounds “really healed until they became the most valuable friendship.”
