Trump criticises Biden for skipping Charles' coronation ceremony
In an interview on Wednesday, Donald Trump criticized Joe Biden for not attending King Charles III's coronation, describing it as "disrespectful."
Mr Biden was invited to a state visit to the UK by the new monarch, who will be coronated this week. Although the President won't be attending, first lady Jill Biden is expected to be present at the celebrations.
Donald Trump expressed his surprise and criticized Biden's decision, saying that it was "disrespectful" for him not to be there.
During an interview with Nigel Farage, Donald Trump suggested that Joe Biden's physical endurance was the reason for his absence from King Charles III's coronation ceremony. Trump expressed his belief that although it might be physically challenging for Biden to travel to the UK, he should have attended as a representative of the US.
Despite Donald Trump's criticism of Joe Biden's absence from the coronation of King Charles III, it's worth noting that no US president has ever attended a British monarch's coronation. While a delegation selected by President Dwight Eisenhower did attend Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953, Eisenhower himself did not.
Furthermore, there is no indication that King Charles III views Biden's absence as disrespectful, as he has not made any public statements to that effect. The White House has confirmed that Biden will make a state visit to the UK in the near future, and Biden has expressed his appreciation for King Charles III's invitation. Read More…
