  "textContent": "\n\n\nKing Charles III has released a statement celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence.\n\nThe monarch praised the two nations' \"centuries of shared challenge and achievement\" in the message shared on social media.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe King embarked on a historic State Visit to the US earlier this year, where he met up with his friend and President Donald Trump, playing a crucial role in reigniting the fractured relations.\n\nIn his message, the sovereign said: \"Through centuries of shared challenge and achievement, our nations have built a relationship founded on friendship, trust and a belief in liberty, the rule of law and the dignity of all people.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"As we look ahead to the next 250 years, I have no doubt we will continue to defend our shared values.\n\n\"The connection between our peoples is one that I trust will only grow stronger with time.\"\n\nToday marks the start of nationwide celebrations across the US.\n\nIn Washington DC, over one million people are expected to gather on the National Mall for a \"full day of programming\", according to the White House.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThis includes words from President Trump and \"Salute to America\" fireworks - described by the White House as \"largest pyrotechnics display in the history of the world\".\n\nIn New York, ships from around the globe are anticipated to gather in the harbour for Sail4th 250.\n\nAnd across the country, July 4 celebrations are being hosted in royal jubilee-style street parties, as they mark the special occasion.\n\nKing Charles's transatlantic trip in April came at a critical moment of international relations - and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands.\n\n### LATEST ROYAL NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Prince and Princess of Wales's secret meeting with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce revealed\n  * King Charles launches Liam Gallagher-style bucket hats after Sandringham event\n  * Wimbledon offers Beatrice and Eugenie 'low-risk return to the royal spotlight'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAddressing Congress, he acknowledged the \"spirit of 1776\" and hailed the \"special relationship\" between the two nations.\n\n\"He made a great speech. I was very jealous,\" the US President said after.\n\nThe monarch was also able to receive standing ovations from both Democrats and Republicans, which, the President admitted, is \"something I could never do.\"\n\nKing Charles also addressed the President's recent comments to the media.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the US, European countries would be speaking German,\" the sovereign recalled.\n\n\"Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French!\"\n\nCue another encore of bellowing laughter across the room, including from the President, who was, sort of, the brunt of the joke.\n\nUndoubtedly, since he assumed the throne, King Charles has prioritised revitalising the so-called special relationship with the US, particularly as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the President continue to butt heads in the press.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
