(CNA, London 23rd, Foreign Dispatch) US President Donald Trump told the BBC today that the upcoming state visit to the United States by King Charles III will "absolutely" help rebuild the strained relations between the two countries.
AFP reported that King Charles III will travel to the United States on the 27th for a four-day visit. As transatlantic tensions rise, disagreements related to the war with Iran and scandals associated with the late sex-offender financier Jeffrey Epstein could disrupt this landmark visit.
When asked by the BBC if King Charles III's visit would help repair US-UK relations, US President Trump told the BBC: "Of course it can. He is fantastic, a wonderful person. The answer is an absolute yes."
King Charles III will make his first state visit to the United States as a monarch at the invitation of the UK government and President Trump. He will be accompanied by Queen Camilla and will subsequently travel alone to Bermuda.
Trump previously heavily criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not participating in the US-Israel war against Iran that broke out on February 28.
In a telephone interview with the BBC, when speaking about the reactions of US allies, including the UK, to military actions, Trump said: "They should have been involved. But obviously, I didn't need them."
Starmer is currently embroiled in a political scandal stemming from his appointment of Labour grandee Peter Mandelson as the ambassador to the US, given Mandelson's close personal ties with Epstein.
Trump told the BBC that the only way for Starmer to "recover" from his current predicament is to "open the North Sea" to increase oil and gas extraction and to "get tough on immigration policy."
The American leader then added: "But if he doesn't do that, I don't think he has a chance." (Translation: Chen Yuting) 1150424
