King Charles:

"In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked article five for the first time, we answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the cold war, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security. Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people."

President Trump on King Charles III's address to Congress:

"There, the direct descendant of King George III will speak to the direct successor of the very body that gathered in Independence Hall on July 4th, 1776. If John Adams and George Washington or the King's fifth great-grandfather could see that sight, they might be absolutely shocked, but probably only for a moment. Surely, they would be delighted that the wounds of war healed into the most cherished friendship."
