# US president Donald Trump’s claim that King Charles privately agreed with him on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, caused consternation among UK pundits. Trump said during a state dinner for the British royals that the king agrees Iran should never have a nuclear weapon. This public disclosure was deemed a significant breach of royal protocol, as private discussions with the monarch are traditionally kept confidential to ensure political neutrality. Buckingham Palace since said in a statement the king is mindful of his government’s long-standing position on preventing nuclear proliferation.
