Falklands War veteran hopes King Charles can convince Trump to 'back down'
Falklands War veteran Simon Weston has urged King Charles III to persuade US President Donald Trump to "back down" over reports the US could review its position on the UK's claim to the Falkland Islands. An internal Pentagon email suggested the US was considering options to punish NATO allies that had not supported its war on Iran. The 2013 referendum saw 1,672 eligible islanders vote overwhelmingly to remain a British Overseas Territory.
