Donald Trump showed a letter from Charles III to the camera. Journalists read its content

Keir Starmer on Thursday During a meeting with Donald Trump in the White House handed the US President a letter from King of Charles III. Trump sitting on an armchair next to Starmer in the oval office joked, “should he read it now.” Then he took a letter from the envelope, spread it and showed it to the camera. As Sky News emphasizes, usually correspondence from the British monarch is not made public. Trump presented it in such a way that its content became possible to read.

Sky News, based on the captured photos of the letter, which was partly covered by Trump's hand, cites its content. In the first paragraph, the king writes about “a wide range of challenges around the world” and states that Great Britain and United States They have a “key role to play” in connection with them.

In the following, we can read that the monarch “with great sentiment” recalls Trump's visit to Great Britain during his previous term and “would be pleased to make an invitation” to another official visit to the islands in person. The king suggests that they could discuss the details together during a meeting at the monarchs belonging to the monarch – Balmoral or Dumfries House in Scotland. “There are many things in both possessions, which in my opinion may prove to be interesting – especially since my Dumfries House foundation provides training in hotel skills for young people,” says Sky News.

“In addition to the fact that it would be an opportunity to discuss a wide spectrum of issues that are the subject of common interest, it will also be a valuable chance to plan a historical, second state visit to Great Britain,” we read. He emphasizes that the meeting “would be helpful to discuss a number of options regarding the location and content of the program (visits)”. “Working together, we will further strengthen special relations between our two countries, both of which we are so proud,” writes the king.

During a meeting with Starmer in the oval office Donald Trump He said that “Great Britain is a great country that knows very well” because “he is often there”. He added that he “goes to him” and soon “he would announce it”.

“Guardian” reminds that in January the king sent personal congratulations to Trump on his inauguration as president. In 2018, Trump during his first presidential term met with Queen Elizabeth II at the castle in Windsor. Commentators then pointed out that the president did not bow to the queen, which – although the nod is not required from foreigners – was a departure from the adopted protocol.
