\n

Buckingham Palace<\/a> has responded after President Trump made a controversial comment<\/a> about King Charles during his state dinner speech at the White House. As he stood to address guests in the East Room, Trump spoke about the war that is currently raging in the Middle East and attempted to drag the King into controversy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Claiming that the King “agrees” with his view<\/a>, the President said: \u201cWe have militarily defeated that particular opponent and we\u2019re never going to let that opponent, and Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we\u2019re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon, they know that. And we are going to stand defiant and triumphant against the forces of communism, fascism, and tyranny.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Following the comment, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson issued a brief statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They said: “The King is naturally mindful of his Government\u2019s long-standing and well-known position on the prevention of nuclear proliferation.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The US has been in conflict with Iran since February 28, when the US carried out joint strikes with Israel<\/a> on several key Iranian sites. Iran responded by striking sites across the Middle East and closing the critical Strait of Hormuz trade route. The countries have committed to a short-term ceasefire, but no long-term peace agreement has been reached.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Elsewhere in his speech, Trump pointed to the King and said, \u201che made a great speech,\u201d in reference to his address to a joint session of Congress earlier on Tuesday, \u201cI was very jealous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After Trump spoke, it was the King’s turn to address the room. He said: \u201cYes, we have had our moments of difficulty even in more recent history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“When my mother visited in 1957<\/a>, not the least of her tasks was to help put the \u2018special\u2019 back into our relationship after a crisis in the Middle East. Nearly 70 years on, it is hard to imagine anything like that happening today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Elsewhere in his speech, the King took the opportunity to poke fun at his host. “You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German,” the monarch began. “Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The King was talking about places with British and French origins in North America, where the rival colonial powers battled for control of the continent before US independence 250 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
