U.S. President Donald Trump has said Britain’s monarch, King Charles III, agrees with his position that Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Trump made the remark during a state dinner at the White House held in honour of the King, noting that both leaders were aligned on preventing nuclear proliferation by Iran.

The statement has drawn attention given the constitutional role of the British monarch, which requires political neutrality. King Charles did not publicly express any position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions during the visit, focusing instead on strengthening diplomatic ties between the United Kingdom and the United States.

In his official remarks, the King emphasized shared values and cooperation between both nations, while addressing broader global challenges without directly referencing the Iran issue.

The visit formed part of ongoing efforts to reinforce bilateral relations between the two allies, even as geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme continue to raise international concern.
