Charles III called for "strong support" for Ukraine during his address to the U.S. Congress
During his address to the U.S. Congress, King Charles III of the United Kingdom emphasized the need for “resolute support” for Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia.
This was reported by Politico.
This statement came in the context of a reference to the support provided by U.S. allies following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and served as a “veiled challenge” to President Donald Trump and his allies in Congress.
In his speech, the monarch highlighted NATO’s role in supporting the U.S. at a critical moment: “Immediately after 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time… we answered that call together, just as our nations have done for over a century, side by side.”
Charles III then drew a parallel with the current situation, emphasizing the need to preserve Western unity: “Today, that same unwavering resolve is needed to defend Ukraine and its courageous people—to ensure a truly just and lasting peace.”
Thus, as Politico notes, the British monarch effectively appealed to Trump and the Republicans not to withdraw support for Ukraine in its confrontation with Russian aggression.
During his meeting with King Charles III of Great Britain, U.S. President Donald Trump likely discussed Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s intentions and his desire for war.
The meeting between King Charles III of Great Britain and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington will take place behind closed doors. The reason is concern over a repeat of the public conflict that occurred earlier during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the White House.
