Donald Trump revealed what he really thinks about King Charles in a bombshell phone call, during which he criticised Britain’s immigration and energy policies. Speaking to Sky News, the US President spoke warmly about the King ahead of the monarch’s upcoming visit to America, describing him as “a great gentleman”, “a great friend of mine” and “a fantastic person”.
Trump made the comments in a conversation which took place just an hour after Buckingham Palace announced details of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s historic four-day trip to the United States. The King and Queen are due to spend the first day of the visit in Washington, where the monarch will meet the US President, before travelling to New York and then Shenandoah in Virginia. In a call with Sky news presenter Mark Stone on his personal mobile phone, Trump appeared enthusiastic about the visit and made clear his admiration for the King. However, despite his warm words for the monarch, Trump also launched into criticism of Sir Keir Starmer and the UK Government.
Asked whether his repeated criticism of the Prime Minister risked making things awkward for the King during the visit, Trump insisted that would not be the case.
He said: “No, not at all. I like Starmer.” But he then went on to attack what he described as the “tragic mistakes” made by Sir Keir and his Government.
