​

After a rare US visit from King Charles III, reports point to a productive and amicable meeting with President Donald Trump that signals continued strength in the relationship between the two nations.

At one point during Tuesday’s state dinner, the British monarch gave a bell to Trump and explained why he felt it was an appropriate gift.

Here’s what Fox News reported:

The King gifted Trump the original bell from HMS Trump, a British submarine launched in 1944 that served in the Pacific during World War II.

“Tonight, Mr. President, I am delighted to present to you as a personal gift the original bell,” Charles said, noting it “may stand as a testimony to our nation’s shared history and shining future.”

Other memorable moments from the dinner were shared widely via social media:

The king’s wit was a common theme of the night, and he also included a little bell-related joke in his presentation of the historic bell to Trump.

As the New York Post reported:

During his toast, Charles described the story of Britain and America as one of “reconciliation, from adversaries to the closest of allies, not always perhaps following the straightest path.”

“And should you ever need to get hold of us, well, just give us a ring,” the royal quipped.

“Our people have fought and fallen together in defense of the values we cherish across the ocean and from coast to coast,” the 77-year-old monarch said.

“We have stood together through the best and worst of times,” he added, noting the “challenges we now face from those who wish us harm across the world.”

Here’s a clip of that portion of the event:
