At a glamorous dinner in honor of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s state visit to the US, Donald Trump overlooked to toast his own wife. The US president welcomed the royal guests at a White House state dinner following the monarch’s speech to Congress, featuring a French-inspired menu. While King Charles entertained the banquet attendees with light-hearted remarks, Mr. Trump attempted to involve him in discussions about Iran, neglecting Melania during the toasting ceremony as captured in footage from the event. Despite the awkward moment, Melania eventually clinked glasses with her husband after acknowledging King Charles. In a controversial move, Mr. Trump claimed that the King agreed with his stance on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, during his toast at the grand event. The King emphasized the historical ties between the UK and the US, expressing the importance of renewing the bonds of friendship between the two nations. Amid formalities, the King and Mr. Trump exchanged jests referencing language differences between European countries and the US.
