At a glamorous dinner in honor of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the US, Donald Trump overlooked to raise a toast to his own wife. The US president played host to the royal couple at a White House state dinner following the monarch’s address to Congress, featuring a menu of French-inspired dishes.
During the banquet, King Charles entertained guests with a humorous remark about the English language, while Trump attempted to involve the King in discussions about Iran. However, Trump’s conduct faltered as he seemingly ignored Melania when toasting the other attendees.
Footage from the event shows Trump turning away from Melania as she attempted to clink glasses with him, leading to an awkward moment before they finally made the toast. Trump also made controversial remarks about Iran and claimed the King supported his stance on preventing the country from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Reflecting on the historical relationship between the UK and the US, King Charles emphasized the importance of renewing bonds of friendship and history between the two nations. He underscored the alliance’s significance in promoting prosperity and security for both British and American citizens.
In a lighter exchange, King Charles jokingly quipped about language differences between European countries and the US, highlighting the ongoing camaraderie between nations.
