Summary
Donald Trump is upset after King Charles warmly welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham, making Trump’s own state visit invitation seem “less special.”
Trump’s allies allegedly asked the British government to intervene, but officials stated the king makes his own decisions.
Relations may also be strained by Trump’s criticism of Canada, where Charles remains head of state.
The U.K. government denied tensions, reaffirming strong U.S.-U.K. ties.
