(Central News Agency, Washington, 30th, comprehensive foreign report) US President Donald Trump today praised British King Charles III as "the greatest king" at a White House farewell ceremony, stating that the US needs more people like the British monarch.
According to AFP, this formal farewell ceremony marked the end of Charles III and Queen Camilla's four-day diplomatic trip, which aimed to ease transatlantic tensions over the Iran war.
As Charles III and Camilla arrived at the South Portico of the White House for the brief ceremony, Trump told reporters: "He's a great king—in my opinion, the greatest king."
Minutes later, as the King and Queen departed in a car after a round of handshakes and pleasantries, Trump added: "Great people. Our country needs more people like that."
Charles III and Camilla's subsequent itinerary included a visit to Arlington National Cemetery near Washington D.C. to pay respects to fallen American soldiers, and a meeting with Native Americans in a national park.
They will then depart for Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the Atlantic.
Prior to the British King's visit to the US, Trump had harshly criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for opposing the US and Israeli war against Iran.
While King Charles III's visit was nominally to emphasize the US-UK alliance on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the ultimate focus was on salvaging the so-called "special relationship" between the two countries. (Editor: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150501
