US President Donald Trump held a meeting with Britain’s King Charles, sparking controversy over comparisons drawn between the two figures. The White House shared a photo of the leaders during the monarch’s state visit to the US, captioned with “TWO KINGS” accompanied by a crown emoticon.

Former US Assistant Secretary Philip Reeker expressed unease over the comparison, labeling it as somewhat embarrassing. He suggested that the reference to “kings” was a political tactic aimed at undermining the “No Kings” movement critical of Trump’s leadership style.

Critics have likened Trump to a monarch, fueling protests under the “No Kings” banner across the US. These demonstrations, primarily targeting Trump’s immigration policies and military engagements in the Middle East, reflect a growing opposition to his administration’s actions.
