King Charles has extolled the importance of Britain’s “special relationship” with the United States in a speech to US Congress that made pointed reference to the importance of Nato, the defence of Ukraine and the climate crisis.
In a speech that will be read as a veiled plea to Donald Trump to return to the United States’ traditional European alliances and restore his country’s role as a defender of liberal values, Charles said: “America’s words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more.”
Charles’s appearance before the joint session of Congress – the first such royal address in 35 years – was billed as the centrepiece of his four-day state visit to the United States, where he and Queen Camilla are taking part in celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of independence.
Charles praised the historic bond between the two nations, saying: “The alliance that our two nations have built over the centuries – and for which we are profoundly grateful to the American people – is truly unique.”
But in comments that appeared to draw an approving response from Democratic lawmakers, he noted the roots of “the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances” in one of the UK’s foundational legal documents, Magna Carta.
And he urged “unyielding resolve” in the cause of “Ukraine and her most courageous people” in order to “secure a truly just and lasting peace”.
Speaking from the dais of the House of Representatives before an audience that included lawmakers from both parties and top military officials, he also emphasised the importance of action on the climate crisis.

King Charles is not too bright and has been a sucker for this climate change indoctrination.
Inbred twerp.
He wants NATO because he knows that none of them can defend themselves.
It’s probably a good thing seeings how the Mussies are slowing taking them over.
That’s one way the Mussies will get nukes - legally.

We are about done dealing with Ukraine.
Time for Europe to handle the Problem Child, the one who’s always got his hand out for more “loans” that will never be repaid.
Charles said: “America’s words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more.” We’re just farmers with pitchforks Charles, but we’ve done OK.
Sick old Charles was sent over as a last ditch effort to try to coax the horse back into the “special relationship” barn, but the barn door is shut & the horse is long gone, just dust on the horizon.
A King that doesn’t apply to the ‘No Kings’ Swamp scum in attendance..
NO MORE KINGS.
Give him a rifle and put him on the front lines.
not a word about chickening out on Iran.
K Charles also had warm words this year to celebrate iftar (officially he held a dinner too), but NO traditional Easter message, or observance.
There have been rumors for years he’s a closet muslim.
Maybe the UK and Europe should defend Ukraine. Oh that’s right…. They can’t!
We are about done dealing with Ukraine.

We are occupied with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz so the Brits (and others) can get oil and not get nuked in the future. The EU can finish Project Ukraine on their own.
Have we beat the Babylon Bee with our assessment or are they on top of this already?

Allu Fubar Charles
Grab him by the lapel and drag his muslim butt back to the plane.
Gee Charles, exactly how many Naval warships did you sent to the Strait of Hormuz to help the USA?
