We're like two notes in one accord, or two verses of the same poem each beautiful one separately, but really destined to play together”.
This occurred in September when the American president spoke at a banquet organised by King Charles III to mark his second state visit to Britain, which was unprecedented.

He claimed Britain was no longer “Rols-Royce of allies” and called Royal Navy transporters “lodra”. Asked this month about the state of “special relations”, Trump replied: “not well, not well”.
