Congressman Cohen Welcomes King Charles’ Invocation of U.S.-U.K. Shared Values

WASHINGTON - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) attended an address by Britain's King Charles III to a joint session of Congress today and made the following statement:

"King Charles underscored the shared values of our two countries while invoking our long history of mutual aid and consistent moral support. I found it particularly helpful that the King reminded his audience of our nations' decades-long commitment to a strong NATO alliance. It was important for some in the Chamber to hear him confirm Britain's and our continued strong support for Ukraine in its war against the genocidal threat from our common Russian foe. It was encouraging to hear the King use his considerable influence as an advocate for the environment that serves us all to call attention to the need to address climate change. It was refreshing to hear his endorsement of our common dedication to protections for peoples of all faiths or no faith, and for his respect for the American people."
