Against this turbulent backdrop, President Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House for the second day of a UK state visit, ahead of the King’s address to Congress. “Americans have had no closer friends than the British,” Trump told reporters, striking a warm tone.
But behind closed doors, the mood was reportedly less conciliatory — at least when it came to Tehran. According to CNN, Trump signaled to top national security advisers that he is “dissatisfied with and unlikely to accept” Iran’s latest proposal to end hostilities, which would reopen the Strait of Hormuz while deferring the nuclear question. Two people familiar with the matter said Trump conveyed his reluctance during a meeting where the Iranian plan, sent to Washington in recent days, was discussed.
