'If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French', King and Trump joke at dinner
Donald Trump praised King Charles III for getting the "Democrats to stand" during his congress address, as the pair exchanged jokes during their speeches at a state dinner on Tuesday.
During the banquet on the second day of the King and Queen's state visit to the US, the King also made quips about the Middle East crisis, a naked Sir Winston Churchill in the White House, and Trump's "readjustments" to the White House.
He also joked that "if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French", in reference to a battle between Britain and France to control North America in the eighteenth century.
