King Charles III joked about history during a White House state dinner with Donald Trump. He said Americans might “be speaking French” if not for Britain. He was responding to Trump’s earlier remark that Europe would be speaking German without the US. “Of course, we both love our French cousins greatly,” Charles added. The dinner was part of his four-day US visit with Queen Camilla. He also joked about Britain burning the White House in 1814, calling it “real estate redevelopment.” Charles highlighted the long and complex ties between the US and UK. (PC: HT)
