Overview
- At Tuesday's White House state dinner, President Trump said the King agrees that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon.
- Downing Street and Buckingham Palace offered no immediate response to the claim, and the Palace has stressed the monarch’s convention of political neutrality.
- Hours earlier, King Charles addressed a joint meeting of Congress and urged support for NATO and Ukraine and warned against isolationism as he praised the transatlantic alliance.
- During the dinner, the King used light humor and presented a bell from the World War II Royal Navy submarine HMS Trump as a symbolic gift.
- The royal itinerary next moves to New York for a visit to the 9/11 memorial on Wednesday, followed by travel to Bermuda.
