President Trump plans to invite King Charles to the U.S. after being charmed by the pageantry during his state visit, a senior White House official tells The Telegraph. “It was a really fantastic trip. The British know how to do this perfectly,” the official told the outlet. “They set the bar high for their trip to see us.” During Trump’s unprecedented second state visit he was greeted by 1,300 troops and 120 horses for an opening day full of ceremony on Wednesday, in addition to thousands of protestors in London and outside Windsor Castle. The historic trip came to an end on Thursday after Trump signed a $350 billion energy deal with Prime Minister Keir Starmer following an overnight stay at Windsor Castle. He was also treated to a lavish state banquet at the castle with 160 guests, made up of mostly business and political leaders. Trump remarked that the trip with First Lady Melania Trump was “truly one of the highest honors of [his] life.” As the visit concluded and he watched the British Parachute Regiment, the Red Devils, land on the Chequers lawn, he continued to shower praise. “We’re grateful beyond words for the spectacular honor of the state visit yesterday at Windsor Castle, hosted by His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty, Queen Camilla,” he said. “These are two fantastic people. We will never forget it.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
