"[T]he EU will have more, not fewer, members by the mid-2030s — possibly as many as 36 compared to today's 27."

"In the (very) long term we will likely see the EU grow from its current 27 states to as many as 35."

"There is no majority in any other member state in government, parliament or public opinion for a full exit from the EU."

There's "no room for complacency over the future prospects of disintegration."

"If we do not manage migration... In some time, the EU may fall apart."

“I believe others will leave. I do think keeping it together is not gonna be as easy as a lot of people think.”

Brexit "will trigger a domino effect."

Brexit "will set off the domino effect that will bring down all of Europe."

Ukraine joining NATO "will never happen."

NATO hasn't "reached the point where it is prepared to offer membership or an invitation to Ukraine."

“As long as I am head of the Slovak government, I will direct the MPs that are under my control... never to agree to Ukraine's joining NATO.”

"We cannot admit Ukraine into NATO immediately."

Ukraine is "fully prepared and able to be a member of NATO."

We will take "concrete steps to bring Ukraine closer to NATO."

"Ukraine's path and bridge towards NATO membership is now irreversible."

"Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before, and will continue on this path until [it] become[s] a member of our alliance."

"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when."

Will Ukraine Join NATO?

"I doubt President Trump will withdraw from NATO."

"I do not expect Trump to withdraw from NATO."

"Donald Trump wants NATO to be strong. He wants us to remain in NATO."

America's there "100 percent [if NATO allies pay their fair share]."

"He might try to pull the United States out of NATO."

"In a second Trump term, we'd almost certainly withdraw from NATO."

Trump "talked many times about getting out of NATO behind closed doors and publicly. So that's just a fact."

"Trump is setting up the pretext for cutting off aid to Ukraine and pulling the US out of NATO."

Will the US Pull Out of NATO?

"Labour’s Chagos Island deal [is] on [the] brink of collapse as Washington and even Mauritius turn against it."

"I can predict one thing for sure: there is no way he [Trump] will allow Britain to give up its sovereignty over the Chagos Islands."

"I think it's not going to happen."

"I believe that the chances of this deal moving forward with U.S. support post-Biden is zero."

"Labour's Chagos sellout is collapsing."

If the US exerts pressure, Keir Starmer "will give in [and terminate the deal to handover the Chagos Islands]."

The government "apparently remains determined to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands [to Mauritius]."

"On balance, the deal [to handover the Chagos Islands to Mauritius] will probably get approved."

"The British Prime Minister informed me that he intends to push ahead with the agreement reached between Mauritius and the United Kingdom on the Chagos archipelago."

Will the UK Hand Over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius?

"Today's #GDP growth figures are still a long way from @Keir_Starmer's target of 2.5% and it is far from clear that we are heading in the right direction."

"Labour are promising to be the fastest-growing country in the G7. And our growth forecast is 2% or less every single year of this parliament? Yeah, good luck with that."

"The economy is expected to grow by just over 1 per cent this year, rising to 2 per cent in 2025."

Research shows that "deep alignment with the EU on goods and services will deliver 2.2% economic growth to the UK."

"Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half the damage caused by Brexit."

King Charles III addressed a joint meeting of Congress on April 28, 2026, becoming only the second British monarch to do so, following Queen Elizabeth II, who delivered a speech to lawmakers in 1991.

The address took place during a four-day state visit to the US, timed to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. Relations between the two nations have been strained over the UK's refusal to join the US-Israeli war in Iran.

King Charles opened his speech by condemning a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, saying "such acts of violence will never succeed." A 31-year-old from California was charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump after the incident.

The King quoted Trump's remarks from a previous UK state visit — that the bond between the US and UK is "priceless and eternal" — receiving a standing ovation. He also called for "unyielding resolve" in the defence of Ukraine.

British Ambassador Sir Christian Turner's remarks — made to UK students visiting Washington — were published just before the King and Queen arrived at the White House, including a comment that America's "only special relationship is probably Israel, not the UK."
