JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump admitted that he had been looking forward to the visit of King Charles III of England amid US and Iran tensions that triggered the Middle East geopolitical heat.
King Charles is scheduled to make a state visit to the US later this month. Trump said the figure's arrival was very memorable for him.
"A fantastic person," Trump praised during an interview with British television station Sky News, Wednesday, April 15, quoted by CBS News.
"Just being with him. I've known him for a long time. He's amazing. A wonderful person," he continued.
After praising King Charles, Trump then returned to expressing his disappointment with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Trump criticized Starmer's policy of deciding that Britain refused to join the US and Israel against Iran. The US property billionaire then described the current US-UK relationship.
"When we asked for their help [the British] [in the war against Iran], they were not there. When we needed them, they were not there. When we didn't need them, they were not there. And they still aren't there," Trump said.
Trump then highlighted the US-UK mutual relationship in a trade agreement that both parties had previously negotiated.
"We gave them a good trade deal. Better than I would have given. Which is always negotiable," he said.
