特朗普:“美国人没有比英国人更亲密的朋友了”
在美国和英国因伊朗战争而出现外交紧张局势之际，特朗普总统谈到了两国之间的“特殊关系”。
“在我们赢得独立以来的几个世纪里，美国人没有比英国人更亲密的朋友了，”特朗普说。“我们同根同源。我们说同样的语言，我们持有同样的价值观，我们的战士在红白蓝双旗下共同捍卫了同样非凡的文明。”
特朗普发表讲话
“这是一个多么美好的英国日，”特朗普总统在华盛顿一个下雨的早晨与聚集在白宫南草坪外的数千名客人开始讲话时说。
皇室成员的国事访问是为了纪念美国脱离英国独立250周年。
特朗普说:“向英国国王致敬似乎是我们庆祝美国独立250周年的讽刺开端，但事实上，没有比这更合适的致敬了。”。“早在美国人有国家或宪法之前，我们就已经有了文化、性格和信仰。”

Trump opened the dinner by lavishing praise on the royal and joking about the bipartisan reception King Charles III received during his address to Congress earlier Tuesday.
"He got Democrats to stand, I've never been able to do that. I couldn't believe it," Trump joked.
Trump also remarked about the long history of the U.S. and the U.K., calling it a "very, very special and incredible friendship."
King Charles III began his toast by reflecting on the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday, "paying tribute to your own courage and steadfastness, as well as to your security services for their swift actions on Saturday evening in preventing further injury," the king told Trump. "My thoughts and sympathies are very much with you, the first lady and all those guests for whom this must have been a very upsetting incident."
There were light-hearted moments in the king's toast as well.
The king referenced Trump's decision to tear down the East Wing to build a White House ballroom, making a joke referencing the burning down of the White House during the War of 1812.
"On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing, Mr. President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year," the king said. "And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814."

King urges cooperation amid strained UK-US relationship
Amid tensions between the U.S. and U.K. over the war in Iran and other diplomatic issues, King Charles urged cooperation between the two countries.
"The story of the United Kingdom and the United States is, at its heart, a story of reconciliation, renewal and remarkable partnership," he said. "From the bitter divisions of 250 years ago, we forged a friendship that has grown into one of the most consequential alliances in human history.
"I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values with our partners in Europe and the commonwealth and across the world, and that we ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward-looking," he said.
Charles emphasizes importance of NATO
King Charles emphasized the importance of the NATO alliance as he spoke about how the U.K. answered the call after the terror attacks against the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people," Charles said. "It is needed in order to secure a truly just and lasting peace from the depths of the Atlantic to the disastrously melting icecaps of the Arctic."
"The commitment and expertise of the United States Armed Forces and its allies lie at the heart of NATO, pledged to each other's defense, protecting our citizens and interests, keeping North Americans and Europeans safe from our common adversaries," he said.
His comments come amid Trump'scriticism of NATOafter several allied countries refused to back the U.S. war in Iran.

Loud applause after Charles' comments on checks to executive power
King Charles, speaking on American independence, said the founding fathers brought with them some ideals rooted in British common law -- including the Magna Carta.
"The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances," he said.
The remark was met with loud applause from the chamber.

Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are filling up the House chamber, with the excitement of a joint meeting in the air as guests begin to take their seats and wait for the House Sergeant at Arms to announce the arrival of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Hundreds of ticketed guests have crowded the House gallery, giving the event the feeling of a State of the Union address -- absent the president. Each member of Congress was given one ticket to give to a constituent or special guest.
Atop the speaker's rostrum, Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson chatted while dignitaries filled the room.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wearing a lavender suit in the chamber, was also present when Queen Elizabeth gave her 1991 address to Congress.
King Charles to deliver rare address to Congress
King Charles will soon deliver a joint address to Congress, a key moment of his four-day state visit. The last British royal to speak to a joint session of Congress was Queen Elizabeth II in 1991.
There will be plenty of pomp and show surrounding the king's speech, including a bipartisan escort committee that will trail him as he makes his way to the speaker's rostrum. Supreme Court justices, the diplomatic corps and president's Cabinet are all invited to attend as well. Vice President JD Vance is expected to sit alongside Speaker Mike Johnson atop the rostrum.
During the joint meeting, members of Congress may try to "hog the aisle" to get a moment gripping and grinning with the king.

Trump: 'Americans have had no closer friends than the British'
Amid diplomatic tension between the U.S. and the U.K. over the war in Iran, President Trump spoke about the "special relationship" between the two nations.
"In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British," Trump said. "We share that same root. We speak the same language, we hold the same values, and together, our warriors have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin banners of red, white and blue."
Trump delivers remarks
"What a beautiful British day this is," President Trump said as he kicked off remarks with thousands of guests gathered outside the White House South Lawn on a rainy morning in Washington.
The royals' state visit is to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence from Great Britain.
"Honoring the British king might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence, but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate," Trump said. "Long before Americans had a nation or a Constitution, we first had a culture, a character and a creed."
