British Monarch Charles III, during his speech to the US Congress, actually addressed a veiled signal to President Donald Trump about the need to maintain support for Ukraine and the role of NATO. This is reported by Politico.

The material notes that British Monarchs traditionally convey political messages indirectly, and the mention of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was not accidental. "Immediately after the events of September 11, when NATO first invoked Article 5... we responded together to this call, as our peoples have done for more than a century, side by side," Charles said.

According to journalists, this is a response to Trump's statements, who has recently criticized the Alliance. The publication emphasizes that it was NATO that supported the United States at a critical moment after the 2001 attacks.

The King also drew a parallel with the modern war in Ukraine. "Today, the same unwavering determination is needed to protect Ukraine and its bravest people - to ensure a truly just and lasting peace," he emphasized.

The publication believes that in this way Charles called on American politicians not to reduce their support for Kyiv in countering russian aggression. It also draws attention to the fact that the Monarch's position differs from the rhetoric of Trump, who has repeatedly criticized Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to Politico, this fragment of the speech became a signal to Republicans in Congress about the need to preserve the unity of the West.

Recall that the meeting between Charles III and Trump at the White House will be held without cameras - they fear a quarrel like with Zelenskyy.
