Trump laughs at receiving a World War II-era bell from King Charles of Britain

JAKARTA - King Charles III gave a unique gift during his state visit to the United States (US) as part of strengthening bilateral relations.

The gift was in the form of an original bell from a World War II-era British submarine, given by Charles to US President Donald Trump at the White House.

The bell was also shown by the White House through a photo on Instagram on Wednesday, April 29. In the upload, Trump was seen laughing in front of Charles with the background of the bell on display.

"King Charles III presents President Trump with the original bell from HMS Trump - a brave World War II era warship!" the caption read.

Charles' state visit to the US was welcomed by Trump at an event at the White House on Tuesday 28 April.

In his welcoming speech, Trump praised Britain, an attitude he has rarely taken in recent months in the wake of a dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the Iran war and the US's intention to annex Greenland.

"For centuries since we gained independence, America has never had a closer friend than Britain," Trump said, quoted by AFP.

After the speech, Trump, along with First Lady Melania and Charles and Queen Camilla, watched a US fighter jet dance over the White House.
