He also acknowledged the apparent assassination attempt on US President Donald Trump over the weekend, saying: “Such acts of violence will never succeed.”
The king also called for the support of Ukraine.
“In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the United Nations Security Council was united in the face of terror, we answered the call together as our people have done so for more than a century,...

- This week marks 30 years since 35 people were killed and dozens more were injured in a shooting at Port Arthur, in south-east Tasmania.
The tragedy led to a mass buyback of more than half a million guns and other reforms to gun ownership.
But today, the number of licensed firearms in the country is higher than ever.
Advocates for control say more needs to be done to limit the number of guns in the community, but shooters say they feel unfairly treated.

- Description
- Late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel has responded to calls for him to be fired following a recent joke about US first lady Melania Trump looking like an “expectant widow”.
The joke was broadcast before the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where a shooter allegedly opened fire as the first lady and her husband, US President Donald Trump, were in attendance.
Cole Tomas Allen has been charged over the incident, and is potentially facing a life sentence in prison if found guilty.
Melania said it was "time for ABC to take a stand" against the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and that he shouldn't have the opportunity to continue hosting the program.
Kimmel has responded that there was a misunderstanding about the joke, which he says was about how Trump is "almost 80 and she's younger than I am”.

- Fans react to US suggestion Iran replace Italy at FIFA World Cup
- Date posted
- 17 days ago
- Description
- Fans of the Iranian and Italian football teams have expressed frustration with comments made by a Trump envoy suggesting that Italy should replace Iran at this year's FIFA World Cup.
"No, our team has no reason to be treated like that at all. Our team played the matches it had to play, won, and qualified," one Iranian team supporter said.
Some Italian supporters were equally disappointed by the suggestion, one saying: "(Italy) doesn't deserve it, in my opinion, that's all".
Another commented, "We're just poor losers".
Italy missed out on a World Cup spot for the third time after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in their qualifying playoff final in March.
Paolo Zampolli, a Trump envoy with no official connection to the World Cup, suggested replacing Iran with Italy on Thursday. He made a similar suggestion in 2022 because of the Islamic Republic's crackdown on protesters at that time.

- Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors thank Trump for ‘historic’ moment as ceasefire extended
- Date posted
- 17 days ago
- Description
- US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel will be extended by three weeks after envoys from the two countries met at the White House.
The announcement comes a day after Israeli strikes killed at least five people, including a journalist, marking the deadliest day since the ceasefire began.
Addressing journalists at the White House, Trump said he would work with the Lebanese government to "protect itself from Hezbollah".
The previous ceasefire agreement, reached after talks between the two nations' ambassadors to Washington last week, had been set to expire on Sunday, and has yielded a significant reduction in violence. Attacks have continued in southern Lebanon, however, where Israeli troops have seized a self-declared buffer zone.
Iran-backed Hezbollah has said it has "the right to resist" occupying forces.
