‘If it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French,’ jokes King Charles. #DonaldTrump #BBCNews

[0:00]You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French. It's not hard to see how important the relationship remains in matters, both seen and unseen. My mother's first Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, understood this so well. Indeed, such was the closeness that Sir Winston, while staying here in the White House, in those rooms you showed us upstairs, emerged naked from the bathtub to discover the door opening as President Roosevelt came in for a chat. With rapier wit, the President cast aside any embarrassment by declaring that the Prime Minister has nothing to conceal from the President of the United States.
