US President Donald Trump has insisted the King agrees with him that Iran should never be allowed nuclear weapons.
The American leader made the remarks at the White House state dinner on Tuesday evening, saying he had “militarily defeated that particular opponent”.
Mr Trump in his toast at the grand event in honour of Charles and the Queen said: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now, … and we’re doing very well.
“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.
“They know that, and they’ve known it right now, very powerfully.”
The King meanwhile called on US president Donald Trump to “renew” the bonds of friendship between America and the UK at this “critical time”.
Charles, in a shorter, less formal and more personal speech than his historic address to Congress, told the American leader it was “an important opportunity” and that the two nations have stood together in “the best of times and worst of times”.
In his toast at the grand White House state dinner, the King said the “indispensable alliance” was a “cornerstone of prosperity and security for both British and American citizens”.
In his own toast, Mr Trump congratulated the King on his fantastic speech, saying: “He got the Democrats to stand. I’ve never been able to do that.”
Mr Trump said, despite America’s independence in 1776, the relationship between the UK and the US was “unbreakable in any conflict” and had grown into “a friendship unlike any other on earth, a very, very special and incredible friendship”.
The monarch, whose state visit comes amid the war in Iran and conflict in Ukraine, made reference to “those who wish us harm across the world”, adding in his toast on Tuesday evening: “Those challenges encourage us to reaffirm, tonight, the basis on which our partnership has been built”.
And in a personal gift to Mr Trump, the King presented the president with the original bell from the Royal Navy Second World War submarine HMS Trump, quipping: “If you should ever need to get hold of us… well just give us a ring.”
