The dialogue that left its mark on the White House: King Charles's viral response to Donald Trump! 'If it weren't for us, you would...'

King Charles III of the United Kingdom exchanged jokes with US President Donald Trump at a formal White House dinner. Charles's remarks during the evening were interpreted as a reference carrying diplomatic subtlety.

Referencing Trump's previous comments regarding Europe, in which he stated, "If it weren't for the US, you would be speaking German," King Charles replied, "If it weren't for us, you would be speaking French."

These words, which contained historical references, alluded to the colonial rivalry between England and France in North America and drew laughter in the room.

A REFERENCE TO HISTORY

In his speech, Charles also touched upon Trump's renovation efforts at the White House. Recalling the British burning of the White House in 1814, the King joked, "We once engaged in a real estate development initiative ourselves."

Also making a reference to the Boston Tea Party, Charles said that the dinner being held was "a much better development than that period."

A REFERENCE TO DOMESTIC POLITICS

US President Donald Trump, for his part, used expressions directed at domestic politics in his speech. Referring to King Charles's address to Congress, Trump said, "He got the Democrats to stand up; I never managed to do that."

As part of his visit, King Charles gifted Trump the bell from the British submarine HMS Trump, which was launched in 1944. Charles stated, "May this bell be a symbol of our shared past and future. If you ever want to reach us, all you have to do is ring the bell."
