00:01Britain's King Charles III hailed his country's long-standing relationship with the United States
00:06as he attended a lavish state dinner at the White House on Tuesday during a four-day visit
00:11to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
00:15The story of Britain and America is one of reconciliation from adversaries to the closest of allies,
00:24not always perhaps following the straightest path.
00:27Tonight we are here to renew an indispensable alliance
00:32which has long been a cornerstone of prosperity and security for both British and American citizens.
00:40King Charles also echoed the tone of his earlier speech to Congress
00:43where he delivered a series of nuanced warnings urging international cooperation in global affairs.
00:49In the immediate aftermath of 9-11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time,
00:56and the United Nations Security Council was united in the face of terror,
01:02we answered the call together as our people have done so for more than a century.
01:08Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.
01:19The king mostly struck a light-hearted tone, with several subtle digs at Trump himself.
01:24Indeed, you recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking
01:31German.
01:33Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French.
01:41Trump, in turn, didn't seem to mind, praising King Charles for what he called a fantastic speech.
01:48To be right up, Shane III Dutch!
01:48We have a topic right to check theФbra study of the I.F.P.
