King Charles III stresses NATO’s vital role in defending global freedom during White House toast
Stressing the historical foundations of the transatlantic alliance, Britain’s King Charles III underscored the enduring importance of the U.S.-U.K. relationship, tracing its shared heritage back to the battlefields of World War II.Speaking at a White House state dinner, the King highlighted how both nations have consistently supported each other during their “darkest days,” a cooperation that eventually paved the way for the establishment of NATO in 1949.Recalling the pivotal role played by Washington in the previous century, the King noted, “During World War II, at a most critical time in the darkest days of the 20th century, American leadership helped rebuild a shattered continent, playing a decisive role as a defender of freedom in Europe.”– ANI
