Summary

Donald Trump is upset after King Charles warmly welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham, making Trump’s own state visit invitation seem “less special.”

Trump’s allies allegedly asked the British government to intervene, but officials stated the king makes his own decisions.

Relations may also be strained by Trump’s criticism of Canada, where Charles remains head of state.

The U.K. government denied tensions, reaffirming strong U.S.-U.K. ties.

I agree with all of your points.
You also seem to write grammatically correct sentences bereft of the typical misspellings that confound ESL writers... which makes me wonder: how did you manage to get "believe" wrong FIVE times, and then nail it when it became "believing" at the end?

Because i/e has dumb, inconsistent rules and I've apparently I've written it wrong enough times that my autocorrect has taken it to be the correct, learned spelling. At least it's better than when it takes charge of the sentence and completely flips n't contractions. Those are sneaky and incredibly confusing if not caught.

But I keep shopping for ceiling materials and I can recognize cieling is wrong, so that's nice.
