On the occasion of His Majesty King Charles III's official birthday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio extended congratulations to the British monarch and his wife, Queen Camilla, as well as the people of the United Kingdom.
The United States and the United Kingdom have a long-standing relationship built on mutual trust and cooperation. The two nations share a deep commitment to defending freedom of navigation in critical regions, including the Red Sea. They also collaborate closely to address pressing global security concerns, such as preventing Iran from developing or acquiring nuclear weapons.
A significant milestone in their economic partnership is the Economic Prosperity Deal, which aims to drive investment, support job creation, and enhance long-term economic security for both countries. The U.S. and the U.K. will continue to work together to advance shared objectives and promote peace, prosperity, and good health for all nations.
As King Charles III celebrates his official birthday, Secretary Rubio offered his best wishes to His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, and the people of the United Kingdom, expressing confidence in the enduring strength of the U.S.-U.K. relationship.
