Ammon News - King Charles III presented President Trump with the bell from a World War II-era British submarine — dubbed the HMS Trump — at the White House state dinner Tuesday, where the two leaders bonded over highs and lows of the centuries-long US-UK relationship.

The shiny brass bell bearing Trump’s name and 1944, the year the submarine left a UK shipyard, was part of a vessel that played “ a critical role during the war in the Pacific,” according to the King.

“May it stand as a testimony to our nation’s shared history and shining future,” Charles said, describing the offering as his “personal gift.”

The gift was presented at the posh, “white-tie” dinner organized by first lady Melania Trump for the royal couple and attended by many high-profile guests, including top Trump officials and cabinet members, Congress members, Supreme Court justices, tech CEOs, Fox News personalities, and most of Trump’s children.

Following a photo-op, guests sat for a lavish, four-course dinner featuring seasonal ingredients and herbs and honey from the White House grounds as Trump and Charles gave toasts.

During his toast, Charles described the story of Britain and America as one of “reconciliation, from adversaries to the closest of allies, not always perhaps following the straightest path.”

“And should you ever need to get hold of us, well, just give us a ring,” the royal quipped.
