“In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British,” said the President. “We share that same root, we speak the same language, we hold the same values, and together, our warriors have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin banners of red, white, and blue.”
“Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts [of] moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty Kingdom from across the sea,” the President said, paying tribute to the “noble spirit of the British.”
Trump did not make any direct mention of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who he has publicly rebuked several times for not actively joining the Iran war.
“Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt famously met on a ship in the North Atlantic to outline a vision for the free world after World War II,” Trump recalled. “That understanding of our nation’s unique bond and role in history is the essence of our special relationship, and we hope it will always remain that way.”
The U.K. and U.S. relationship has significantly splintered since the start of the Iran war, with Starmer saying earlier this month that he is “fed up” with people in the U.K. encountering economic instability due to the actions of Trump.
But it appears tensions may be thawing, largely on account of Trump’s long-standing admiration for the royal family.
