The president continues to reference the "bond" between the UK and the US.
Talking of the phrase "special relationship" - he says that from the American point of view the word 'special' "does not begin to do it justice".
He says the two countries are joined by a number of things including history, language and transcendent ties of culture, tradition, ancestry and destiny.

“continues to reference the bond.....”. Sounds like a backhanded comment to me.
charles also had nice words
I am not particularly seeing the British government as a friend and ally anymore.
This is grand and loverly, but the government appears to hate Trump, but not the monarchy?
It appears that way.
We fought a war against them twice — American Revolution and the War of 1812.
We shouldn't have intervened in WWI — it wasn't our fight. Because of that, we had to fight WWII.
The Cold War is over so there is no need for us to remain as allies — but we can continue to trade with each other.
Sickening. “Special”?
They have done very little for us. If they did not speak a minority dialect of English, they would not be considered “special”.
Special is the term they use to enthrall Anglophiles and try to manipulate us into being their muscle and piggy bank.
They arrest 33 people a day for social media posts. They hate free speech. They are trying like hell to drag us into Ukraine. They were a lot of the muscle behind the Covid scam and the driving force behind the global warming cult. They attacked us in 1812, they helped the Confederacy all they could to try to destroy America. They dragged us into WWI and were fully prepared to attack Neutral US shipping if we went to Germany. They cut the undersea cable from Europe to America so all dispatches had to go through the UK. When they managed to get us into WWI, they wanted US Soldiers simply handed over to the Brit Army to get mowed down by their incompetent Generals. Thankfully Pershing stopped that cold in it’s tracks.
After the war in the Washington Naval Treaty, they insisted on a more powerful navy than us and it was a bitter negotiation.
During WWII they basically set up the structure and filthy mentality of the CIA.
They managed the war as for what was best for the empire and caused Ike a lot of headaches. After the war they tried to buffalo Ike into joining them for the Suez crisis.
They are a monarchy and stand tall against everything America stands for.
Special... indeed.
I could care less about the English. We kicked them out twice so far in the past 250 and they still want to meddle. Please, get over the Brits now.
“Unnaturally codependent”, perhaps?
The Brits ain’t our friends.
One thing we can be sure of:
President Trump will treat the Royal family with utmost respect.
And when President Trump meets Queen Camilla,
he will not fart on her like Joe Biden did.
You omit from your litany the profoundest insult of all - some of them become mothers-in-law of poor unsuspecting Americans.
Trump being “diplomatic” at the time and place “diplomatic” is required.
Trump is a class act.
I’m proud he is our President as he will never embarrass this nation on foreign soil as guest when being “diplomatic” and deferent to your host is required.
