U.S. President ​Donald Trump said on Tuesday (April 28, 2026) Britain’s King Charles did not ‌want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, introducing ​the fraught subject of the West Asia ⁠conflict into comments at a White House state dinner for the visiting royal.

The event was held on the second ‌day of a four-day visit to the United States at a tense time in ties, ‌after Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized British Prime Minister ‌Keir ⁠Starmer for what Mr. Trump calls lack of ⁠help in prosecuting the Iran war.
