Trump's final 8-words to King Charles during state visit revealed
The President has left Windsor Castle to meet Sir Keir Starmer.
President Trump has departed Windsor Castle on the final day of his historic state visit to the UK. He bid a fond farewell to King Charles and made his feelings clear to members of the waiting media as he climbed into his car.
The President, who is now on his way to the Prime Minister's country retreat, Chequers, was heard to say: “He’s a great gentleman and a great King.” As a known Anglophile and fan of the Royal Family, Trump's praise for the King was the latest mark of respect he showed during his unprecedented second visit.
As the second day of his whirlwind state visit begins, Trump will join Sir Keir and Lady Starmer for a series of important appearances.
