Donald Trump has sent his well wishes to King Charles after the monarch was hospitalised amid major UK-US talks on an economic prosperity deal. It came as the US President and Prime Minister Keir Starmer held “productive” talks this evening between their respective teams on a UK-US economic deal, agreeing that these will continue this week.
Their chat began with Trump sending his best wishes to Charles, 76, who was admitted to hospital on Thursday suffering from temporary side effects relating to his ongoing treatment for cancer. The monarch, who has been receiving weekly hospital treatment since his diagnosis last February, was seen leaving London yesterday to spend the weekend resting at his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, it is understood. A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke to President Trump this evening. The President opened by wishing His Majesty the King best wishes and good health.
“They discussed the productive negotiations between their respective teams on a UK-US economic prosperity deal, agreeing that these will continue at pace this week. Discussing Ukraine, the Prime Minister updated the President on the productive discussions at the meeting of the Coalition of Willing in Paris this week. The leaders agreed on the need to keep up the collective pressure on Putin. They agreed to stay in touch in the coming days.”
