King Charles touts US-Europe alliance amidst Trump’s repeated threats to leave Nato

King Charles III has praised the “American leadership”, speaking after president Donald Trump at the state dinner hosted at the White House in Washington D.C., on Tuesday (28 April). He hailed the US-UK alliance to combat global challenges over time. “American leadership helped rebuild a shattered continent playing a decisive role as a defender of freedom.” King Charles then went on to appreciate America’s contribution towards Ukraine in the Russia war as “freedom is again under attack.” “Today, our partnerships in Nato and AUKUS deepen our technological and military cooperation and ensure that together we can meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and contested world”, he added. This comes after Trump’s constant threats to leave Nato, calling it “paper tiger” primarily because he claims allies have failed to support America in the Iran war.
