King Charles III presented President Donald Trump with a polished brass bell from the Second World War submarine HMS Trump at a White House state dinner on Tuesday evening. The bell, dating from 1944, was accompanied by a remark that the two nations share a "shining future" and a joke: should Trump ever need Britain, he should "just give us a ring."
