President Trump served as the guest of honor at a state banquet Monday night, during which he delivered a speech about the long-term friendship with the U.K., the accomplishments of the two nations, and the reign of the queen.
“On behalf of all Americans, I offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations, and to the long-cherished and truly remarkable reign of Her Majesty The Queen,” Trump said at the banquet.
The Queen also praised the two countries’ alliance, which had provided “safety and prosperity of both our people for decade,” BBC reported.
