In a June 2019 meeting at Clarence House during a state visit, the two leaders discussed the climate crisis.
Trump told ITV that his meeting with Charles was scheduled to last 15 minutes, but went on for an hour and a half.
Charles “did most of the talking,” though Trump did say that he told the then-Prince of Wales that the US “has among the cleanest climates there are.”
“He is really into climate change, and I think that’s great. I totally listened to him,” Trump told ITV.
Trump continued: “What he really wants, and what he really feels warmly about, is the future. He wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate, as opposed to a disaster. And I agree.”
In her memoir, “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham wrote that, after the meeting, Trump had rolled his eyes and complained that their “terrible” conversation consisted of “nothing but climate change.”
