US President Donald Trump has reportedly gone 'cool' on the UK after King Charles met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksky at the Sandringham Estate last week
Donald Trump reportedly feels 'less special' after King Charles hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week. The US President is said to have 'gone cool' on the UK, with insiders claiming images of the King and Zelensky together made Trump feel his own state visit invitation to Britain had been overshadowed.
Trump is said to have reacted badly to photographs of the King and Zelensky together, having initially been buoyed by the prospect of an unprecedented second state visit for a sitting US president. An insider from the White House told the MailOnline: "Things definitely went a bit cool in Washington after Sandringham. We told them that the King makes his own decisions about who he meets."
Whitehall insiders also stressed that the meeting between the King and Zelensky was not a reaction to Trump and Zelensky's argument at the Oval Office, and pointed out that it had been in the diary for some time. The King previously hosted the Ukrainian President back in 2023, when he told him: "We've all been worried about you and thinking about your country for so long."
