Royal Grip Triumphs: Charles Beats Trump in Handshake Face-off
During a U.S. state visit, King Charles III outlasted President Donald Trump in a high-profile handshake duel, refusing to break contact and signaling a diplomatic win for the monarchy. The moment followed an earlier awkward White House greeting, and Trump later waived whiskey tariffs in Charles’s honor. The trip also included a Union Jack gaffe at Arlington and a planned congressional speech by Charles promoting reconciliation.
