LONDON, July 4 — King Charles III has said the United States and the United Kingdom will continue to uphold their “shared values” as the US marks its 250th independence anniversary.

In a message on X addressed to President Donald Trump and the American public, he said both nations would continue defending principles such as liberty and the rule of law as they look ahead to the next 250 years.

He added that the “connection between our peoples” would continue to strengthen over time. King Charles and Queen Camilla had visited the US on a four-day state trip in April, which was widely seen as helping to reinforce bilateral ties. — AFP
