Donald Trump has had his share of press time since he took office a few weeks ago. This includes having some heated conversations, both with the Ukrainian President and with the Canadian Prime Minister.
It seems as if those two individuals are not friends of Trump at the moment, and they even appear to be against him for the most part. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have become well-known, and for all the wrong reasons.
There is another problem at this point, and that is the possibility that King Charles III has shown solidarity with them and even invited them into his private country estate. Donald Trump has always been a big fan of the royal family, but he doesn’t seem really happy with this.
It happened on March 2 and 3, when King Charles invited the two world leaders to his private country estate, Sandringham. Essentially, they took some pictures and had some friendly meetings.
Charles was using his Commonwealth Day address on March 10, 2025, to play “peacemaker” and that occurred after the meetings. He wanted the nations to stop focusing on differences and uncertain times and to ‘come together in the spirit of support and friendship.’
Although King Charles didn’t say it, it was probably an underlying hope that he would reach Donald Trump with his words. According to some reports from insiders, however, Trump was irritated that King Charles rolled out the welcome mat to Zelenskyy only two days after the Oval Office clash. In addition, it was said that the pictures of the photo op made the president feel ‘less special’ about his invitation to Britain for a state visit.
A UK newspaper came out with the storyline: “Now Stop the State Visit for ‘Bully’ Trump.” It focused on members of Parliament and other leaders in the UK government, saying that they should rescind their invitation to the US president and continue to show their solidarity with Ukraine.
King Charles III had delivered the invitation to Trump for a state visit a day before the Oval Office issue. Now some feel that the visit should be put on hold due to the aggression that showed up recently.
At the same time, Trump may be concerned that King Charles is not completely on board with the way he treated Canada. Incidentally, King Charles is the head of state ceremonially for Canada.
Trump has gone after Canada with sweeping American tariffs on Canadian goods, threatening the economy in Canada and even wanting to bring Canada on as the 51st state.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also met with King Charles at Sandringham on March 3. It was said that they spoke about matters that were important to Canadians, including ‘Canada’s sovereign and independent future.’
Now that Charles has held his meetings with Zelenskyy and Trudeau, he may be stepping up his diplomatic role at this point. He is trying to keep things quiet, but as monarchy does try to be ‘about politics’ which may be why he also gave an invitation to Trump.
When Charles meets with world leaders, it is usually the British government that is behind it. In addition, officials in Washington were told that the king would not have gone along with their wish not to meet with the Ukraine government or the prime minister if it were requested.
The UK government says that Trump is not ‘sulking’ because of the meeting with Zelenskyy. The inside source did say: “Things definitely went a bit cool in Washington after Sandringham. We told them that the king makes his own decisions about who he meets.”
