About 2,000 guests will attend the coronation ceremony of King Charles III, including leaders, heads of state and government and kings from around the world.
Former US President Donald Trump, Wednesday, criticized President Joe Biden’s decision not to attend the coronation ceremony of King Charles III, during a tour by the Republican billionaire in Scotland and Ireland.
Trump is seeking to win a second presidential term in the elections that will take place next year, and he described Biden’s decision not to attend the coronation ceremony of the King of Britain as “disrespectful.”
The US president will be represented by his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, and British and US officials have indicated that the failure of the White House master to attend the coronation is in line with the established tradition, since no US president has attended any royal coronation ceremony in Britain.
The last coronation ceremony in Britain dates back to 1953, when Elizabeth II was crowned queen.
“When you have someone who’s going to be asleep instead of coming to the coronation ceremony as president of the United States, I think it’s bad,” Trump said in a statement to British news station GP News.
“This should not happen. It is disrespectful,” Trump said, addressing his old ally Nigel Farage, the British populist politician, in an interview he gave him at one of the two golf resorts owned by the American billionaire in Scotland.
And Trump, 76, officially launched his campaign last November to win the Republican nomination for the presidency, and he stresses that Biden’s physical condition is a hindrance to him, although the 80-year-old president visited the United Kingdom and Ireland last month.
“I would have attended,” Trump said. “It’s a very important event. I think it’s physically tough for him.” “He certainly should be here to represent our country. I was surprised when I heard he wouldn’t come,” he added.
About 2,000 guests will attend the coronation ceremony of King Charles III, including leaders, heads of state and government, and kings from around the world.
Among the politicians who will attend the ceremony are French President Emmanuel Macron, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
