It is irreplaceable and unbreakable.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>King Charles references 9\/11 in call for US to increase support for Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe stood with you then, and we stand with you now in solemn remembrance of a day that shall never be forgotten,\u201d Charles said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added: \u201cToday, Mr. Speaker, that same, unyielding resolve is needed for the defence of Ukraine and her most courageous people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>King Charles receives a standing ovation for saying that \u201cexecutive power is subject to checks and balances.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court Cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>King Charles says &#8216;we can perhaps agree that we do not always agree&#8217; in reference to US-UK dispute over Iran war<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWith the Spirit of 1776 in our minds, we can perhaps agree that we do not always agree \u2013 at least in the first instance. Indeed, the very principle on which your Congress was founded \u2013 no taxation without representation \u2013 was at once a fundamental disagreement between us, and at the same time a shared democratic value which you inherited from us. Ours is a partnership born out of dispute, but no less strong for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can see <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/live\/king-charles-iii-and-queen-camilla-arrive-at-state-dinner-and-are-greeted-by-president-trump-and-first-lady-melania-trump--follow-live-updates-074149360.html\" data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:detailed updates on King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s US visit;cpos:1;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" target=\"_blank\">detailed updates on King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s US visit<\/a>, here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/live\/prosecution-calls-for-maximum-jail-term-in-singapore-ns-evasion-trial-uae-to-quit-opec-and-opec-in-blow-to-oil-bloc-singapore-live-news-012434549.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King Charles addresses the Joint Session of Congress in Washington DC.
