JAKARTA - King Charles III asked US President Donald Trump not to withdraw US support for NATO and Ukraine.
Charles said that during the welcoming ceremony for his arrival, which was held by Trump at the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday, April 28.
Besides Trump, the event was also attended by US Vice President JD Vance, US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and a number of US lawmakers.
"I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values, with our partners in Europe and the Commonwealth, and around the world, and that we ignore calls to close ourselves off even more," Charles said, quoted by Bloomberg News International.
Relations between the US and Britain have fallen to their lowest level in decades amid a public feud between Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Trump, who had previously had a warm relationship, has spent the last few months criticizing and insulting Starmer for the war in Iran and threats about the annexation of Greenland.
Cahrles on the occasion said that the relationship between Britain and the US has lasted a long time. Although it is undeniable that there were ups and downs in the colonial era, the situation is now different.
"With the spirit of 1776 in our minds, we can perhaps agree that we don't always agree - at least at first," Charles said.
