"Trump stated, 'We're doing a little Middle East work right now and we're doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we're never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.'"
"A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said, 'The king is naturally mindful of his government's longstanding and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.'"
"Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey expressed concerns, stating, 'President Trump is one of the most unpredictable people we have seen on the world stage and I hope he does not embarrass our monarch.'"
Trump stated that King Charles shares his view on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons during a White House state dinner. The king, as a neutral head of state, may face embarrassment from Trump's remarks. Trump emphasized the success of U.S. efforts in the Middle East and claimed that Charles agrees with him on the issue. The king's official stance on nuclear proliferation is well-known, contrasting with Trump's interpretation of their discussions. Concerns were raised in the UK about Trump's unpredictability during the king's visit.
