US President Donald Trump has said that King Charles agrees Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, Reuters reports.

He made the comments during a state visit to the US by the British monarch.

“We’re doing a little Middle East work right now and we’re doing very well,” Trump said at a White House state dinner for the visiting royal.

“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me even more than I do — we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon.”

In his own comments following Trump, Charles did not speak about Iran or the war. The king is not a spokesman for the British government.
