Nearly 250 years after Americans cast off their colonial shackles by declaring independence from Great Britain, President Donald Trump on Wednesday hailed the deep historical and cultural ties between the United States and the United Kingdom as he capped a historic second state visit to the country at a banquet hosted by King Charles III.
Speaking alongside the King at the outset of the banquet in Windsor Castle, Trump noted his status as the first American president to be hosted twice at the Royal Family’s ancestral home and called the honor a “singular privilege.”
