00:00You're probably remembering with, I hope, some affection your own visit to the United Kingdom in June 2019, which is when President Trump last was afforded a state visit.
00:12What sort of memories spring to mind from from from those events of six years ago?
00:18Oh, you know, a couple of them are very inside baseball as someone who was heavily involved in putting on state dinners at the White House.
00:26Just to watch the precision with which the event in London came off was impressive to me from a technological sort of practical standpoint.
00:36But from a more policy oriented, more maybe subjective analysis, I remember very vividly the relationship that the president developed with both at the time, the Queen and Prince Charles, now King Charles.
00:50And the friendship that I think sort of started to build up between especially the two gentlemen.
00:55They got along extraordinarily well.
00:58They seemed to they had some common interests.
01:01They don't agree on architecture, for example, but they both are students of architecture.
01:05And of course, people don't realize this.
01:07Donald Trump has won several environmental awards for his golf courses, one of which bumps up against one of the royal estates in Scotland.
01:13So there was a broad variety of discussion that went off seamlessly, which is exactly what you would expect from from the from the royal family.
