KING CHARLES III:
"There was one particular AUKUS predecessor, launched from a UK shipyard in 1944 that served for the majority of her life attached to the 4th Submarine Squadron in Australia playing a critical role during the war in the Pacific.
Her name? HMS Trump β so tonight, Mr. President, I am delighted to present to you, as a personal gift, the original bell, which hung on the conning tower of your valiant namesake.
May it stand as a testimony to our nation's shared history and shining future." πΊπΈπ¬π§
